Fred-like, twenty-four
hours through a shackled muse, all
five-seven-five-y.



Winter: wind and ice,
snowy trees bereft of leaves.
Forget hairstyling.

---

Get the issue out!
Finish editing and mail.
What we said last week.

---

Almost done, but wait!
Here's something we overlooked.
Send it tomorrow?

---

Trying to get home.
Tonight, it's the Bruins game. (*)
Fucking Fleet Center.

---

Warm when snow falls, but
cloying and rather nasty:
Dunkin' Donuts chai.

---

Sins in a past life:
stuck now in a crowded train
breathing flatulence.

---

Hypocaustic bliss:
Our kitchen floor is heated.
Sleep with the dishes?

---

Snow on the ground; a
fattening taste of summer --
fresh guacamole.

---

Wet latex and wire,
cotton gloves and memory,
Son-of-Ether prop.

---

Blow, thou winter wind,
frigid life-hating blasts -- but
I still want ice cream.

---

Dreaming of ghostly
apparitions of people
who aren't, I think, dead.

---

Won't get up early,
shovel and salt the sidewalk.
It will melt in spring.

---

Inconsiderate
trash men left cans in the street.
Almost missed my train.

---

What have I done wrong?
"Let's Hear It For the Boy" is
stuck in my head now.

---

Okay. That's enough of that.
