The Sunday Whirl

***

The criminal tried to foster participation with his days of speechifying lies and still imagined he could change things. His warped mind would sink into a thicket of hate filled ideas. The latest sky high proposal was to build a fake bomb to threaten authorities. No influence by therapists or relatives could rinse away his evil thoughts. Since no prescribed medications were consumed by him, he finally ended up in jail.

Widow’s Holiday Lament

She answered the family’s queries

With “just peachy” as to how she felt

In spite of no red and green decorations

Her consciousness wouldn’t reveal indications

Of loneliness, her lack of spirit

Did not want them to hear it

For the turbulence would start

Even though it came from their hearts.

She wanted her independence

And not their constant attendance

But accepted their pleas

They decorated with ease

And her seasonal joy returned.

“Where’s the phone? You know, Martha, this modern gadget is irritating. I might as well go back to my office and use my old telex. That would be a lot easier than this tiny slippery cel phone that I can never find. And what’s up with earphones? Now I can’t hear your conversations! I’m going down to Smith’s antiques and see if he has an old handset!” Charlie slammed the door on his walker on his way out.

Abundance describes how Christmas used to be when my children were small, many years ago. I always tried to get the one thing they wanted more than anything else, and then the stockings were overfilled and their favorite. Today a local news article reported the homeless shelter here in the city was ransacked and trashed by a few residents, causing it to be closed til next year and repairs could be made and afforded. Volunteers showed themselves in abundance, for construction, appliances, and repairs. This is the meaning of Christmas.
