the ice scraper

I hear the scrapping
on the windows of cars, and look
out,
the dreaded coat of white
ice
is upon us.
I see people bent
over the hoods of their
running cars,
crunching a plastic
spoon against
the windshield.
good lord, it was eighty last
week
and now this.
I need a new wardrobe
to handle
this sudden weather change.
I have no idea
where my hat is,
my gloves,
my big boots and shovel.
what happened to global
warming?
only six more months til
spring.

Even though the planet is getting warmer, cold weather still happens in winter or at very high elevations or high latitudes year-round.
