santa in action

1138 and the crowds are already
crowding the entrances
exchanging glances
sizing up the competition

and a rush to the door
throngs of people staring
doe eyed at the metal grates
10 more minutes

panting for a taste of
what they cant afford any other day
as if they were rich for
one night.

and like any other sewer creature
forced to creep out at 1am
kids passed out in carts
while they grab for the doorbusters

i saw santa in action last night
and wished I had never been so spoiled.
