Empire State of Mind

Everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it all they do is complain, complain. I chose the other road, less travelled, and it is making all the difference in my attitude about the coldness. I picked to make the best of it and stay home and make soup and wear the warm clothes and turn the heat up a little bit more and drink hot chocolate and tea. If you can make it through the winter you can make it through winter. That’s not a typo.
Yes, you can make it through winter. Dress warm.
Too cold for riding. I refuse to sacrifice style for comfort.
That’s not my style.
Poetry and reading will keep you warm too.
I’m getting a new book case and today
I curled up on the floor
almost in childs pose, but reading
old poetry books.
I’ve been trying to read more,
books I mean. I read words all the time.
I read worlds of words. All the time.
I found a library downstairs, didn’t know it was there.
We stopped and looked at the books,
I’ll get that one for you. I have some
to exchange.
I put my card in the back and a sticker on another.
I love the book exchange, and
that shine of inspiration
you have.
