christmas is on the same day this year
it's like deja vu without the accent mark
one day, i'm going to buy a house
with a built-in christmas
a rotating bookcase and trap doors with
hydraulic lifts and a block and tackle hanging
from the ceiling with a platform that descends
from the ceiling at the appropriate moment
i control it - it's left to me - to my complete and total discretion
everything will be wired up to some kind of central control panel
that will in turn be wired up to some kind of remote control device
that doesn't have to be too remote
because i'm going to be there anyway
you know what i mean - let's not get too fancy
it is a wise man who shows restraint
and i will proceed to tell you why:
we greeks believe in two things
and we ignore both religiously
hubris and moderation
if i overdo the architectural plans for my built-in christmas
if i get flamboyant, which, i admit
has led me into trouble on countless occasions
then, i not only incur the festering jealousy of the village
but also the implacable wrath of gods, who
are even more jealous than the blockheads down the street,
better heads than mine have been used as a soccer ball by these guys
so i'm keeping this shit under my fucking hat until i get it figured out
