feet finally thawing
from standing
in the freezing rain
waiting for a ride, bus
Cinderella's pumpkin
even without the footmen
I wouldn't complain
finally home
after a day
that feels so much longer
than it really was
but frozen toes
and wet socks
and rain that sneaks
throught layers
of boots
sworn by the salesman
they all swear so convincingly
but the rain
in my neighborhood
must be
stronger, hardier, sneakier
than rain
anywhere else
so finally
feet thawing
not yet warming
after the cold rain
could have been
much wetter
if weren't for
some kind souls
driving pumpkins
