‘A GREAT MIRACLE DID NOT HAPPEN HERE’


There will be no miracles this Hannukah.

My candles lasted barely an hour.

Trump still sits in Lincoln's chair.

They say climate change is

killing the insects.

My life is a wick, and so

what that I’m not dripless.

The candle burning low

turns out to be Planet Earth.
