CHRISTMAS TREE NEEDLES
God, as Jesus told us, knows everything -
like how many hairs are on our head. Wow.
But Jesus didn’t know what a Christmas
Tree needle was - as one fell from our tree -
above him - into his crib - sliding into some
hay as Jesus just
laid there watching us.
I knew what they were. They last till at least
June or early July in our living room - long
after the tree is tossed - out on our sidewalk.
Now, smarty pants God, I bet you don’t know
how many Christmas Tree needles there are
around our world. You might know how many hairs
are on Chinese heads, but Christmas Tree needles
lingering under rugs and radiators, no way, there has
to be an unnoticed one on the corner of my sidewalk.
