You Hear Church Bells in the Distance
And the notes sparkle
like tinsel
in the Christmas air.
St. Paul’s Lutheran Church
is playing carols.
See how the sharps
and flats float around
then settle
on the ground
like snowflakes.
I pick up a handful
and let them drift
down over me
like a waterfall
of song. Then
head to Walmart.
I go through the doors
and hear the canned
carols being played
and this time
the notes slap me
in the face. I get
my list out, crumple
it, and leave.
