I put on my overcoat and walked into winter My teeth chattered rhythms And they were grouped in twos or threes Like a morse code message was sent from me to me Cars on slippery slopes, they're stuck. People pushing through their mittens As I was beginning to feel it soaking through my shoes Getting colder with every step i took to your apartment, dear. And I was a kaleidoscope. The snow on my lenses distorting the image Of what was only one of you and I didn't know Which one to address as all your lips moved. This is when I forget breathe all the things I scripted, they sound unfounded. And the look that you're giving me, it tells me exactly what you are thinking: "This ain't working anymore" They got their mothers worked into a panic Sledding down hills into oncoming traffic The parents layered clothes until the children couldn't move then kept Them outside til their noises were blue and I got left there, too. I put on my overcoat and walked into winter, my teeth chattered rhythms. And they were grouped in twos or threes like a morse code message was sent from me to me.
