"Mother, may I go outside and play?" I heard the
whispers coming up through the floorboard over
the crawlspace, thinking. It must be the wind or the
bones of the dead Santa Claus. Because I saw Mama,
without procrastinating, elongated Santa's throat.
Tattooing his lips with her kiss. Then danced with
Mr. Green Jeans, as I played with my Tinker Toys.
