Climate Control

Cold air found us
and this morning’s walk
required
- two thin layers-
of fleece
- hoods raised -
to hold back the wind’s
goal to freeze

but, true to Florida,
in just those 30ish minutes
layers were peeled as the
aggressive sun fulfilled
its own desires
- not mine -

The wind must love me
for it has remained,
though much weakened
by that vicious sun,
and both fight for entrance

- in my one opened window -

and I am grateful
for them both

- for the moment -

Happy Tax Day! May your CPA, unlike ours, not smoke his cigarettes into your forms…. I had to put them aside to air out before I can read them… sigh.

    This was me in reverse today, as the sun set. I was on the soccer field, adding layers like a loon.

    At least you had the layers to add, Susan. I loved watching soccer in the winter.
