oh sure it's cold out

this day the wind does nothing
but blow hard / more than gusts

it's good for wind chimes
good for blowing snow off the car

good for bringing the temperatures down
to a paupers wage

huh


fuck


the long of it is / the day was extremely cold
the night doesn't look /sound much better
wind whips the recycling around on the side deck
rolls empty pop cans / knocks over what ever it hits

wind is like that / / it quite literally roars in
much like the wave / except you can hear it coming up
from the lake / blowing off the top of the mountain
a wall of wind / a wall of water / i didn't even see what hit me . . .



oh sure / we bring this weather upon our selves / a good way
to hide complacancy / / stay in doors / it's too cold out side


any snow that fall is dry waste / small flakes that disappear
with the wind / / not nearly wet enough to stick to any thing
not nearly wet enough to raise the temperature up to zero

oh it crashes through the trees / a shussss shusss of branches
bouncing / shaking / shiving with cold / so glad i'm not a tree
turn up the heat just a bit more / / crank that heater
