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