ordinary cold creases the day


but it's about time

it's the middle of November

and we'd had a very mild Autumn


and I feel alive

for the first time in a month


absolutely love the cool and cold weather

(anything above 70 sets me off sweating

as if I were dunked in a pond

and left to drip on hot stones)


that's all I wanted to say

it may be nothing to the eternal Middle East madness

or mutant strains or the growing pathology of crowds


but it's my stay against the Plague for another day
