READ


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
dogs. Making
is just taking if
you know. Knew.
doo-doo doo
