the short life of mittens

the mitten
period of your life,
ends when
you're about four.
after that you need fingers.
you have
stuff to do.
you need them
to open things,
scratch things, put
them where they don't
belong.
you'll never wear
another pair
of mittens again once
you figure that out.
mittens no more, no
matter how
cold it gets, or how
much snow falls.
