Haiku: Christmas, Union Square, NYC

Seventeen syllables slamming

Legs in black stockings.
Piercings are matte gunmetal.
Chuck Taylors, no laces.

Slutty Santa's elves
Huddle near outdoor heaters
Nice or naughty? Nice.

Chestnuts roasting on
One street vendor's cart. Jack Frost
Hustles pre-rolled weed.

Mom, look, its Santa!
Xmas selfies arise, tips
Appreciated.

A day to ponder
It will all be over in
Only three more days.
