Thwarted Plans (Poetry) - 11/13/2014 8:32:29 AM
I grew up in Wisconsin. Summers were way too short and winters were brutal. I remember walking to college over 10 blocks in -50°. I also remember my childhood with coal-fired furnaces and constantly being cold with numb extremities in winter and even being cold in summer.
As I age, my paralysis advances and my internal control of my temperature wanes. I can no longer stand the winters up north, let alone the winters here in Texas. My toes are turning purple as I write this and they take hours to warm up after I go to bed every night. I hate winter but love the scenery it provides.
