the eve before christmas

cold and crisp afternoon
the way it should be
while throngs of people are out prowling the streets
on this day
while the many couples are out clasping hands and strolling
along on this day
i'm stuck at home.

i had just woken up after a 7hr sleep
somehow, i'm still jaded.
sunrise shift at 7-11 was alright
except that it was so damn boring i wished i had something to do

perhaps i should spend the entire day contemplating this
and wrapping presents

on the other hand, it's so sad that i'm spending the day at home
imagine waiting 357 days for christmas only to spend it at home.
