Seasonal Magic

There's frost resting on the window

And thankfully I've been sleeping in

So I miss the daunting task

Of scraping my car's windshield

Before having to leave my home

To get to where I may have to go.

The thoughtful sun clears the ice for me

And the lack of snow reminds me that

It doesn't feel like the holidays—

I haven't felt the seasonal magic in

Many years, so I guess it doesn't

Matter—as long as my windshield is clear,

And I don't care if my apartment window

Is decorated with the frost from the

Chilling December night.

As long as I don't have to decorate,

I'm fine with whatever.
