Stopping is difficult

There is no moral friction,
Nothing definite to rely on for change,
Only willpower.
Willpower is a trumped-up description for people who
Are not slaves to passion.

I'm at a loss to believe it's really the 23rd.
Santa.
My goal to post-mark the cards by Saturday failed.
Alas.
Every year I speculate that it can't be possible to have less
X-mas spirit than this.

If 12 months happen to pass again,
It comes to pass that it's so obviously that.
Economic slow-down indeed; it coincides
With my "last year really was the final one for presents" —
One place my desire has triumphed.
