August is here
soon the fall
winter following
the cold, the snow
I like the challenge
of living with
the winter cold
using less heat
a challenge to me
this winter I’m
getting a bed tent
like camping in
the cold outside
but with the warmth
concentrated in a
smaller space
in my bedroom
a challenge to me
an experiment I
can’t wait to try
if it fails at
least I won’t die
