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
