Misplaced by degrees,
this ornament will catch your eye
at certain angles –
this stuffed reindeer’s eye
will glint in such a way –
So even if you were not before
you will now
despite the misplacement of
our Christmas in June.
These trinkets, baubles, toys –
will light some sympathy in you
and you will come examine
these exotic fish-out-of-water
and hesitate
but after a few more visits
cannot resist –
succumbing, melting inside –
until the coins pass from
your hands
to ours
and seal
the deal.

One Art, to recognize, must be,
Another Art to Praise.
