Before we happen
to wander any
farther—away from the literal
office
water cooler—I submit:
that the garrulous wonder
of this
ever-
lasting mid-winter
seems to exist
primarily in
how little! there actually
is—to report;
exact-
ly like how—right away
god said, slightly—Let there be
light!—perhaps so quickly
that he didn't
have time or see
fit
to mention anything
further—
regarding, specifically, its
ambient
temperature Fahrenheit.
