What I Want for Christmas
Can you give me
more neuron synapses
flashes
that create passion?
Can you give me
more fire, more suffering,
more love, more art?
Can you give me more truth?
Can you give me more poetry?
Can you give me more wine?
Can you give me success?
Can you give me less
of all the things
I do not need?
Can you give me more space,
more time, more awareness?
Can you give me more health,
more alertness, more mental acuity?
Can you give me my future,
up front, on loan, in the present?
