Xmas Paradox?
The Existential Elf
One must imagine Santa Claus unhappy.
—After Camus
This hauler of stuff still stuffs our socks
from the bags he rolls to the world’s rooftops.
Each empty bag rolls back and mocks
this hauler of stuff who stuffs our socks
to the ticks and the tocks of incessant clocks.
The Mammonites pray he never stops
hauling their stuff to stuff our socks
from the bags he rolls to the world’s rooftops.
