February In Verse: 3

Do you feel my pain?
It is snowing yet again.

February In Verse: 2

It's hard to believe
that the man-made mountains of snow
will ever melt

I believe it will take 80 days of 80 degree weather and then
there will be still enormous puddles in
all the parking lots

February in Verse: 1

oh,
how I long to
rush you kids outside
in only your stroller
no coats hats gloves socks boots scarves snowsuits booties snowpants mittens earmuffs
oh no,
it will just be you and the clothes you have on
dashing into the dazzling hot hot summer sun

although perhaps maybe i'll stop long enough to put
flip-flops
on our
feet
