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