So Many Things


What would you like for Christmas?

It’s a problem to decide

what to buy for the one who has everything!


There’s a birthday coming up,

what would you like?

It’s a problem to decide

what to buy for the one who has everything!


But now even our special things

are taking us over 

growing like triffids 

and suffocating us

spewing from our homes,

first to fill plastic bags

and then the land,

the seas, 

the air 

we breathe.


Too many things.

It’s all too much.
