The first, a brief synopsis of yesterday, the others a reflection of what seemed a too-cold morning. Minus seven as I was leaving my house but I noticed that the car indicated a range between minus seven and plus one as I went up and down the hills between home and Schodack.
the universe says
you shall not return old gift
without a receipt.the minus seven
slashed at my fingers today
put hands in pockets.my car told the temps
as I drove up and down hills
zero and colder.
