i'm hot, she's cold

i open
the window, she closes it.
i turn
off the heat,
she raises it a few
degrees warmer.
i pull the chain to spin
the fan,
she pulls it
twice more
to end it.
i pull off the blanket
and rely on the sheet,
she doubles
up
with more from the closet.
more pillows,
pajamas,
mittens
and earmuffs,
and anything she brings.
we get along so well, but
when it comes
to temperatures
we tend to disagree.
