bijou
that
every
mention
of
that
place
rustles
up
my
blood
, restlessly.
like
it's
only
the
first
trimester
of
this
winter
but
i
can
already
smell
spring
.
smells
like
spring
in
new
york
city
.
smells
like
june
in
brooklyn
.
today
i
have
candy
bars
and
egg
drop
soup
at
my
desk
in
front
of
my
computer
.
i
want
coronas
on
rooftops
and
slick
just
rained
on
streets
.
i
don't
want
to
leave
my
boyfriend
,
i
want
to
get
outta
here
for
a
while
.
an
excursion
to
albuquerque
next
week
isn't
going
to
cut
it
.
it's
on
the
up
.
winter
is
not
halfway
over
,
but
the
darkness
is
.
the
shortest
day
of
the
year
was
two
weeks
ago
and
i
didn't
even
cry
. (
the
day
before
,
i
couldn't
move
.
i'm
not
much
fun
around
these
damn
winter
holidays
.
ever
heard
of
seasonal affective
disorder
?
who
the
hell
thought
of
making
christmas
on
the
darkest
week
of
the
whole
year
?)
I'm
on
the
up
train
.
cold
cold
.
icicles
hang
off
my
car
as
it
sits
in
the
slicked
over
parking
lot
.
