Snow day

Today I lived in the security of:

 

              Turtle necks

  Comedy Central

  Hot Cider

  And retrieving popcorn with dental floss,


I’m lost when I’m trapped and I like being trapped

But I don’t like homebodies when I’m not a homebody

And I don’t like snow-clad bodies when I have no boots


So,

when the plows in park

when the heating bill isn’t saving my life

when the bottoms of my jeans don’t get moist

And when I don’t need to call to get an answer

I want to make a snowman, that resembles me

And you can name it whomever you’d like

  2. this is a really winter boredom poem. i really like "naming it whomever you like," it's a form of control in an uncontrolable winter mosiac, plagueing us all to stay home when it's shitty outside. bravo

  3. yeah, you got it spot on. Also as another perspective, I wrote it waiting for a girl to call me back. But she never did and i sat around all day waiting
