i was sent from outer space 

to complain about the traffic here

with christmas cheer from ear to ear

and elephants never forget new year

there is finite information 

in any place at any time

but my question relates to the data 

pertaining to time past

i mean, i feel the breath leave my body: 

how can i get it back? 

the last couple of years, my friends from university have sent me a christmas cars which is a picture their son drew. they are always quite absurd, and i hope to receive more of them. being, essentially, and adult child, i like to try and reply with something on theme. so last year my christmas card was an elephant wearing a santa hat standing next to its igloo. i hope the tradition carries on, but d and k’s eldest son is in high school now so perhaps he will outgrow it. i certainly have no plans to outgrow drawing my own christmas card in response to anyone who sends me one they themselves have drawn. 

no ai pish though.
