Arctic Chill

 

We’re used to the damp

Cold to the bone and

Wet white stuff that

Comes and goes as

As fast as it snows

On The Island,

But an Arctic chill

Spills everything into

Cartoon caricatures of

Mittens, toques and

Oddball clothing,

People huddling on

Corners and around

Mailboxes like

Norman Rockwell

Posters, dogs dangling

Frozen will nots,

And what in the hell

Is with that guy...

Sandals, shorts and

A muscle shirt.
