#NaPoWriMo - day nineteen

And has the weather finally turned?
At what point do we pull out
the spring jackets and summer shoes?
When do we pack up winter coats,
heavy boots, mittens and scarves?
 
I do not trust the vicissitudes
of wind and sun and cloud
any more than I trust fashion.
 
I can dress in layers but
there is always too much too wear,
and what changes if you drive your car
or take public transit or ride your bike?
Then how big a bag, backpack or satchel?
 
The morning is bright and sunny
(though chilly), the afternoon windy,
and the evening humid and warm.
 
“For everything there is a season”
and I’m done trying to reason it out.
Everything keeps changing –
wait five minutes they say –
but I’ve been waiting for years.
