Broken but not Lost
A Christmas decoration becomes a source of holiday sadness.
Little fragments of the ornament scattered.
It felt like my mind broke into pieces.
This particular adornment just mattered.
The pain, to this day, never ceases.
The gold and red spinning ornament died.
So I gathered each and every jagged part.
At least this was my ritual when I tried.
It had been mine from the absolute start.
I imagined that I could maybe glue
Everything back in place.
I attempted to make it true.
I was just as hurt, as tears stained my face.
Christmas will be mocked completely now.
It will not be a total ‘why?’ but ‘how?’

Smartystan
Four years later…. Today, the Shelthams watched the news. Intently, they discovered that there could be a new leader of the nation-state of Smartystan. Mala and Sheltham sat with their boys around the television and interacted with the questions and smart functions. They had voted earlier but harbored differences on key issues. For example, they answered questions about the current president, Glenn Goshen. They knew his politics, respected and even liked him. Mala didn’t like his fiscal policy. Sheltham enjoyed the elimination of all regulations and controls under Goshen. Still, they fought.
