i put on my overcoat, and walked into winter,
my teeth chattered rhythms.
and they were grouped in twos or threes
like a morse code message was sent from me to me
and cars on slippery slopes were struck,
people pushing through their mittens
as i was beginning
to feel it soaking through my shoes,
getting colder with every step i took
to your apartment, dear.
and i was a kaleidoscope,
the snow on my lenses distorting the image
of what was only one of you
and i didn't know which one
to address as your lips were moving.
this is when i forget to breathe,
and all the things i scripted,
they sound unfounded.
and it's the look that you're giving me
that tells me exactly what you are thinking:
"this ain't working anymore."
they got their mothers worked into a panic
sledding down hills into oncoming traffic.
and parents layered clothes until their children couldn't move
then they left them outside until their noses were blue....
and i got left there too.

like a morse code message was sent from me...
to me...
