Christmas, 2002
A true story.

Searched 5 times, flown twice.
I mention it for later - for now what purpose would be served by addressing what civility permits and is meant well - a better place in difficult times?
But it sulks in background thoughts
as I squeeze a burst from the Uzi
into the cold Oregon mud
and dwell on this Christmas fire
and hope, from my hands, it's the last.

Huge thanks to my family, nuclear and not - a good Yule time was had by all. And I loved all of my presents. And, for those keeping score, my sister won The Clapper. Fair and square. :)
