My Balcony Buddha's got cold toes...
Saved this til now.If I'd sent it on the First
You would have thought
It an April Fool's prank.
We wish it were.
But wishes aren't horses
And we beggars still have a cold,
Wet and snowy walk ahead.
This Buddha doesn't complain.
He sits and steadfastly
Collects alms of flakes.
Cuz he's soooo here now.
My here now is cozy...
Inside looking out,
With a nice cup of
Hot chocolate to sustain.
I'll watch through glass
As our here becomes
The long-awaited now
Of sandals and lemonade.
Then I'll try to learn from
This same balcony Buddha
Not to complain too loudly
About the heat.
