“Presents are delivered from the sky, in every package a prize, a chance, to choke, to suffocate, to forget, yes to forget every last word ever spoken of man higher in the scale than animal creation, the gorilla and the tiger being mere beasts while man has shrines, altars, lights, books awarding him personal immortality, books not yet banned nor burned.” — Carl Sandburg
Presents are delivered from the sky,
in every package a prize, a chance,
to choke, to suffocate, to forget,
yes to forget every last word ever spoken of
man higher in the scale than animal creation,
the gorilla and the tiger being mere beasts
while man has shrines, altars, lights,
books awarding him personal immortality,
books not yet banned nor burned.
