i watch expectantly
as if waiting for my turn
to be handed the gift at christmas
shutter, tense, close my eyes
& brace for something big
my heart like racing
fists tight & hopes high
so i start to pull on paper
violently ripping ribbons
tearing off the bow to reveal
what i bought for myself
SURPRISE
