brrrr!
you shiver involuntarily as
you gaze at the thermometer.
scratch!
the itchy wool scrapes your skin
as you don your hat and gloves.
whoosh!
heat swirls about your feet
in its effort to escape.
crunch!
your feet tread heavily upon
gentle, new-fallen snow.
r-r-r-r-r!
your engine stutters as
it attempts to roar to life.
swish!
your brush and wipers struggle to
clear your car of falling flakes.
squeal!
your heater sounds its protest as
you crank up the heat.
zap!
a spark bigger than your headlight
jumps out at you as you unplug your car.
silence!
an eerie calm surrounds you as
your car stalls and dies.
curse!
once again, you ponder why you continue
to suffer these alaskan winter mornings.
