EAT THE WORM
EAT THE WORM I IMPLORE YOU
I resent the snow as though it shows up
to induce claustrophobia and mid-winter
migraine These relentless mudbeige days without sun
are raining on my wellness parade Even
the tea at Teavana is not the antidote to my malaise
O you denizens who growl & march zombielike into the frozen haze
Something so much stronger is required until
Toronto emerges from the maze When we will
squander again our hot pink dusks and forget about all of the beige
