cold that was the coldest ever recorded
cold that came in from the north like
cold wind off cold forged iron and steel,
cold as ice twas, twas transparent pure
cold glass hoarfrost, windblown rime
cold sleet and cold wind turning into
cold snow and ice falling down from the
cold sky all night and continuing through
cold morning and several more days
cold nights and mornings and more
cold afternoons and evenings and nights
so they walked to keep warm
and when that was not enough
they ran to keep warm and when
that was not enough they hit themselves
with their fists and hit each other
and they drank til their faces were
numb and with bic lighters thawed
extremeties and lit their cigarettes
they sat in the coffee time and
they did not look like men or women
they drank liquor from coffee cups
and looked out the window listening to
extremeties and lit their cigarettes
they sat in the coffee time and
they did not look like men or women
they drank liquor from coffee cups
and looked out the window listening to
q 107 classic rock all day and night
till the sun came up and the cashier
came from behind the counter
and told them all to go home and that she had already called the cops
