it's christmas

you get packaged presents in the mail

it's so exciting! what is it? what will it be?

you run and get your handy hacksaw to attempt to open the box and cut the ton of tape encircling the package

and then? what is this wonderful glorious gift you've been panting to get at?

who the fuck knows

it is BURIED in foam peanuts!!!

myriads of them!!!

a 6x10 inch box buried in a 4x4 foot box FILLED with foam peanuts

when you open the box they immediately begin to jump and pop out!

they are lighter than air! they fly and float all over the room, the house, the neighborhood [I think they're motorized actually!]

you try to catch them before they spread and multiply, you chase them as they flee from room to room at the speed of light [by now you've forgotten you even had a present]

they're the 'gift' that keeps on giving

after the snow melts you find them in your grass, bushes, plants and trees

long after you've forgotten what the gift was, you still have foam peanuts hanging around to remind you that in fact you did receive something
