Winter

It's snowy here and very beautiful. In the most painful way possible. The high temperature today was 22. Tomorrow the high will be 10. Saturday and Sunday: 4 and 4. Monday: -4. NEGATIVE FOUR! THE HIGH TEMPERATURE! Ain't that some shit.

I remember New York in the winter:

New York Winter Haikus

Snow gray before ground
But flakes flutter to my eyes
Drawn delicately

Green, red, soft white lights
Miraculously open
Cemented windows

All snowmen skipped town
Singing soulful carols blind
Over frozen pee

A child’s mad mitten
Red-faced, with an absent hand
Slaps a snowpile back
