Yard Sale of Thoughts

After Cher

Christmas lights make everything

less queer.

Strangers have good cheer,

a bar-wide toast

with domestic beers.

One barstool reflected in the mirror.

Wish you were here!

I’m at the end of another chapter,

but the beginning of another year.

Red light, green light

I’ve made it to the other side, and

it’s just warm enough to preserve.
