What shows
how little
we know?
What can be is
oft far less than
what we expect.
What is now
has never been
what it was.

Of course it has been cold,
as we wait for it to grow
colder. As it is this time of
year, or as it is supposed
to be. A recurring reality.
We live it, as we do, until
we don’t . As they may say,
it’s only what we believe.
And then, by 1:53, it was
as they said it would be.
Wet and ugly from above,
on the street it is winter,
as winter can, and will, be,
Just as they said. How long
will it last? Will we believe?
