Signs of Easter


the most disgusting, the most delightful
yellow/pink/blue marshmallow chicks that herald
a new beginning, the soft pastel sweetness of renewal
and regeneration, the true sign that Easter is coming.
Wicker baskets to be filled, easter eggs to be colored
and hidden, chocolate bunnies, malt ball speckled
eggs, all the trappings of the season.
Forget long boring services at midnight, ham
and boring relatives, bad coffee and prissy
dresses and white socks!  Celebrate with
Peeps, Kraft and Proctor and Gamble,
Easter has arrived.
