Try to Ignore

by Jeffrey Parren

I breathe
a heavy
warm
gust into
my writing hand

and as my ass
begins
to lose all feeling
I
try to ignore

the fact
that everyone
(including myself)
is dressed warmly
that winter is coming

too soon like last year
too soon like the heat
of this past summer
too soon it will be
hot, cold, hot, cold again.

The more things change, the more they stay the same, right? Another good one, man.

Ah, I see you are a cyclical theorist. Ha! The regularity of the patterns sometimes catches us by surprise and bites us in our asses.
