Secretly Jealous of Your Pretty Red Mittens

When I look around
I see a lot of people
Wearing their Olympic
Crap.
One day all that crap,
All the mittens,
All the cheerleading,
All the party flags,
All the friendly police on the corner,
Are going to wear out
And all we will have
Left is memories and
Photographs and Death.

I had lunch today with a group of mostly older women. One of them was showing off her mukmuk keychain ornament. Her daughter lives in Canada. "She sent me a whole box of this Olympic crap. This was the only thing I liked. The mittens are really soft, but I'm never going to wear them." Top quality Olympic swag bestowed on our ungrateful nation.
