Quiet

Christmas Day is quiet –
Traffic’s light and stores are shuttered.
All the hype preceding it
Has fizzled out and puttered.

Families turn inward
And the only revenues
For the restaurants and movies
Are provided by the Jews.

If you took all the Sundays
And you rolled them in a ball,
They might finally rival Christmas –
It’s the quietest of all.
