hard weather

today the kinda cold that makes you wanna puke
so i rewrapped,
warmer, warmer
turned from woman into rectangle
fast day
ate soup
with homemade dumplings
who knew the doughy little things
put ya ta sleep
didn't
played charades instead
i liked being a wheelbarrow the best
cold wind
nip and tuck
tuck the longunderwear under
one day soon
well in a month or so
spring
the happy day
when everyone is more californian
friendly, open
and the ridiculous optomists already in shorts
for today, warm clothing, dumpling soup and charades
wanna play?
