Some people think the United States is turning two thousand and fourteen years old on Wednesday. Other think it is the Earth's birthday.

This is what happens when you switch from 2014 A.D. (Anno Domini) (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/anno%20domini) to 2014 C.E. (Common Era) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Era) - which has no meaning at all.

They might as well ask them who's buried at Grants Tomb.

"America isn't even 2014 years old guys, you didn't take lap years and daylight savings into consideration."

The poor lil' feller is cornfused, Lapland is 2014 years old in lap years. A wise old Indian once commented on daylight saving time; "Only the government would think if you cut off the bottom of a blanket and sew it on top you would have a bigger blanket."

Jesus is turning 2014 years old!

Christ climbed down
from His bare Tree
this year
and ran away to where
there were no rootless Christmas trees
hung with candycanes and breakable stars

Christ climbed down
from His bare Tree
this year
and ran away to where
there were no gilded Christmas trees
and no tinsel Christmas trees
and no tinfoil Christmas trees
and no pink plastic Christmas trees
and no gold Christmas trees
and no black Christmas trees
and no powderblue Christmas trees
hung with electric candles
and encircled by tin electric trains
and clever cornball relatives

Christ climbed down
from His bare Tree
this year
and ran away to where
no intrepid Bible salesmen
covered the territory
in two-tone cadillacs
and where no Sears Roebuck crèches
complete with plastic babe in manger
arrived by parcel post
the babe by special delivery
and where no televised Wise Men
praised the Lord Calvert Whiskey

Christ climbed down
from His bare Tree
this year
and ran away to where
no fat handshaking stranger
in a red flannel suit
and a fake white beard
went around passing himself off
as some sort of North Pole saint
crossing the desert to Bethlehem
Pennsylvania
in a Volkswagen sled
drawn by rollicking Adirondack reindeer
with German names
and bearing sacks of Humble Gifts
from Saks Fifth Avenue
for everybody’s imagined Christ child

Christ climbed down
from His bare Tree
this year
and ran away to where
no Bing Crosby carolers
groaned of a tight Christmas
and where no Radio City angels
iceskated wingless
thru a winter wonderland
into a jinglebell heaven
daily at 8:30
with Midnight Mass matinees

Christ climbed down
from His bare Tree
this year
and softly stole away into
some anonymous Mary’s womb again
where in the darkest night
of everybody’s anonymous soul
He awaits again
an unimaginable
and impossibly
Immaculate Reconception
the very craziest
of Second Comings

--Lawrence Ferlinghetti
