The way it works is
Winter
now gets sold
in a two-pack,
along with
Xmas—
to keep the
consumers
from realizing
they've been
sentenced again to its
prison.
*
And the reason is—
we're so apt
to confuse
the sensation
of warmth
with the sentiment.
The sun
dawns small
over snow-
coated fields,
and we'll still say—it
"came back."
