we went shopping! Bargains were aplenty as most were Malled
They had arisen black and dark as coffee
to freeze in lines for bait and switch coupons
We settled for Half Price Books,Thrift Town,Sprouts
bottom end of the food chain/for the "have-nots"and "want less"
Stood chattering with 100 half price book lovers
scored a bag of SPROUTS goodies to share with Buddhist beggars
found bright overlarge costumes for Sanity Season
Lights have already sprung up to score shoppers
Reindeer and muzak hypnotize November ThanksGivers
and we were caught between two Tsunami-
gratitude and gourmandising-to share goodwill
in two seasons of gift giving.Generosity thin and homeless,
cold and alone.Bright sunshine came to make winter less bone
more meat for thoughts and feelings to share
and that is why we gather nightly.Trust you care!
