13| January.
14| It's cold, and I don't like it.
15| I prefer warm weather,
16| although I like sweaters. They are the one
17| warm spot in an otherwise [shitty][] season.
18| But fall is better sweater weather. So be patient,
19
20| _patient_,
21| while waiting for the end of January.
22| A change of season
23| brings a change of mood along with it,
24| although I never thought I'd be one
25| to believe that [SAD][] junk about effects of weather---
26
27| weather!---
28| on a person. Who becomes a patient
29| just because of one
30| [month of snow][]? I did say of January:
31| "It's cold, and I don't like it,"
32| but I hardly think it's fair, knocking whole seasons,
33
34| seasoning
35| your conversation with demands for better weather.
36| (While I find it
37| nearly impossible, it's my mission to be patient
38| while waiting for the end of January.)
39| Oh, but how the long nights do so [tax][] one!
40
41| One
42| [warm spot][] in an otherwise shitty season---
43| all I ask, January,
44| is one warm day. Do you care whether
45| I'm a person who becomes a patient
46| in some psych ward? This just about does it.
47
48| I.T.,
49| although I never thought I'd call one,
50| is fair and patient
51| when I call. They talk with me, season
52| my conversation of demands for better weather
53| with an argument for the white beauty of January.
54
55| They know it's hard; they say each season
56| has its detractors. _One day_, they say, _the weather
57| will be controlled---until then, patience in January_.
