They said it would get cold enough to freeze
The diesel in the engines of the buses;
They said the cold would be like a disease
Infecting everything. But what nonplusses
My otherwise accepting mind is this:
Why is it that the cold waited 'til now?
Not that I'm sorry all these years to miss
The pain they promised me would come (and how!)
But rather, why, given the record past,
Were these last three years warmer than before?
I fear the cold that comes now may not last;
The world is ever warming, more and more,
And though the cold has come again tonight
Too soon forever it will take its flight.
