with pearly messages or trees or
Christmas cheer, the sweaters
here in Florida are people.
Windows opened wide
anticipating chilly dips
into the 70s now let in heat;
the weather man was off by
10 degrees or so. Fans are blowing,
'stead of snowing for the folks
up north, and we enjoy such
pleasing ocean breezes as we put away
the bows and wrapping paper
for another year. I miss the changing
of the seasons, remember people up that way
with longing and with love, but it's
something close to awesome
wearing shorts and flip-flops,
in December.
