once upon a time
santa
met the tooth fairy
and cupid pulled his bow in aim
and hit the heart of claus
in bull's eye--
too deadly accurate
for motive to be love...
and then the symphony
struck chord
as cotton candied clouds
floated~aloft!
held by wires from above
and chubby children
cherubs
pranced the stage
with lace-trimmed hearts
and sang in chorus:
"tra-la-la..."

My God.
I wanted to believe.

something nasty
in me snarled
as I applauded:

"end of play."

a sad smile here
why wasn't the innocence fairy
making her/his rounds that day?
you wasn't supposed to see the strings!
I hope my little girl
can stay a kid
for longer than she want's to
(Only for Daddy's sake, of course

)

I see that tiny basement stage now and how "small" we were.

Most childhood fancies have strings attached, hm?

Even so many years later, I'm fuming over the fact that my parents told me at the same time as they told my brother that Santa Claus didn't exist. He's two years older than me! So I was a poor li'l disillusioned 6-year-old.

Don't know if you intended it, but this was cute.

Exactly what I'm afraid of.

actually? was just flexing my sarcasm again...smile. I guess I portrayed "trite" too realistically?

*chuckle*mutter*migraine*

but yes, it was just about the letting go of innocence...and yes, (for all me smart ass friends...I do remember!)
