Dateline—approach-
ing
March—times are
still hard—in fact,
word is
it's gotten so strangling-
ly cold
out that every-
thing's now dead-
ly crystal:
there isn't a single
digit to spare
around here,
and no degrees
left Fahrenheit any-
where at this point.
However—no body
seems startled—or hardly
even mildly
adversely affected.
It's simply—business
as usual
inside
and out of us all—that is,
every cell—
against all the others.
