Commenting on the temperature
to teens and pre-teens
on the warmer air today;
But they focused on the wind
and the cold therein
One of them posed the thought
of the wind,
that it should stop,
and go away
I, adult that I am,
trying to conjure wisdom
that which is
caught on the breeze
that which would fail if it died
