in the meantime

this was yesterday morning waiting for the school bus.this was today’s wait.things change so quickly.

it’s already hard to remember how warm it was last week

and whether or not winter usually starts this early

or if we just want it to wait,

so it feels too early year after year after year.

on a warmer note,

was released today

both on

tomorrow isn’t supposed

to get above 40 degrees all day.

i intend to put my lind on and wear it, pulled down low,

all day as i adjust to the chill,

or longer (until i dig out

my other hats).
