maybe a book club?

it's 3 a.m.
and i realize that i need another
blanket
to stay warm.
all of the windows
are open,
the weather has
shifted,
it's ten below.
i'm shivering,
my nose is cold.
those rattles i hear
are my teeth,
my bones.
it's snowing.
it must be a dream, 
but no.
i have no shovel, no
salt, no dog,
or wife, no friend,
or significant other to
cuddle up to
and keep me warm.
in a flash,
i have an epiphany,
it occurs to me that
starting tomorrow,
i need to socialize
a more.
