skiers
miss
the
snow
&
scientists
notice
that
what
they’re
studying
is
gone. Study
gone. Caroline
says
the mountains
will
be
out
& Justin
said
I was
funny.
I push
the
christmassy
door.
When
I
run out
of
my poem
I
will write
the
poem
you
gave
me.
Enough
poems
enough
is
just taking if
you
know. Knew.
doo-doo doo
