Saving Christmas

By Joe Metal Cowboy Kurmaskie

Given the choice, never bike camp behind a frat house during pledge week.

 Santa
 

In hindsight, leaving the lighthouse tour along Maine's coast was a mistake. I turned inland and things turned surreal.

 

Dusk forced me to ground. I stashed my bicycle behind a stand of Alders, pitched my low profile tent and drifted off.

In my dream Foreigner played with the knob torn off, funneled beer flowed and pledges lost all inhibition with sorority sisters. What the law refers to as Class 3 felonies, good time kids of privilege called "unwinding." 

Breaking glass and drunken stabs at Loverboy's "Working For The Weekend" brought me around.
