stay in

it's a wet day.
a damp cold day of grey
skies.
and sagging
leaves.
cloaked in colors
that
have lost their glow.
patches of orange
browns and yellow.
it's almost cheerful
in a depressing sort of way.
a day
to stay in
and eat a heavy meal,
crack
a book of poems
open, stretch out on the couch,
think about
going someplace
but don't.
