not like before
now it is one of the best on the lot
symmetrically decorated, bulbs equidistant, rope garland hung perfectly
symmetrically decorated, bulbs equidistant, rope garland hung perfectly
not like before
when the kids decorated it
a sparse tree
with reused tinsel thrown at every spot
even the gifts below
now, looking professionally wrapped
then, more tape than wrapping-paper
the wrapping-paper's tube
is slotted into the recycle bin
instead of being a sword and a light sabre and an alien arm
until the New Year
when it broke
or broke mum's patience
