Enjoy it, you know?
Drink it in-
the air that
burns your lungs
and squeezes tight
your eyes.
Leave your mark
on every white-covered
tree and
sidewalk and
pile of dirt, and
do not stop
until you see yourself
in puddles stilled
by frost.
Don't hide in shadow.
Soak yourself
in sun-warmed lakes,
make friends with
leeches and
loons alike,
refuse to go first
in a crosswalk,
eat hotdish and
wear as many sweaters
as you can cram
into your closet.
Enjoy it.
You know.
