Christmas 1960
I am 5
waiting for Santa
pretending to sleep
in my bed in the hall
I can hear mom & dad
talking & occasionally laughing
in the kitchen
they have made an apple pie
for Santa.
I fall asleep
& later stumble into the toilet
I go to hug mom
& in incredible disbelief,
watch as dad
spoons smilingly into his face
Santa’s pie.
