I wait with the / freezing air here

hearing my thinking / asking me / why

I take a long time to / finish a / beer

in a / way it’s / hard to get / high


the computer / half-awake here

I’m thinking it’s quite / content on its / own

unlike me, with / romance in low / gear

the bitter air / cutting / to the / bone


a meandering raw / refugee air

not a girl or woman to / make me / right

the weather’s grim, the / garden / bare 

in two degrees / of an / icy winter / night
