no room in the parking lot

on my way to Church
the cab driver said
I was his first fare
all morning and
he wouldn’t be able
to make the car rental
politely even Christianly
I felt compelled to say
that things should pick up
for the Holidays
no he said they are buying
gifts six hundred dollars
on the average
should make us happy
that one religion at least
is paying for itself
but he wouldn’t be
had nobody to give to
this was the moment
this quadriplegic of the lonely
was supposed to raise
paraplegic goose bumps
of gratitude all over me
but I didn’t feel
the expected rush
from meeting a love cripple
in the company of misery
my courage rather Scrooged
to the sticking place
by the thought that thank God
Christmas comes at the end
in case I don’t survive
