The first frost of the season.
It's cold out here, cold and dark.
I wonder from behind which mountain
the sun will show, she points to the side
with a "there".
It sure is cold out here the first frost
of the season. Cold and dark and momentarily
we share a cigarette
and a view.
Shit it's cold out here sure I've had it worse
but that was a different time different situation.
Factory workers start six six-thirty she says.
I'd start six forty-five I say back then
riding the trolley listening to music or reading
it was pretty fine then sometimes you'd
doze off and miss the station.
Back then but you sort of got used to the cold
you know it gets in your system or something your
blood
figures it out. Or whatever. Let go back inside now
goddamnit before I freeze something off she
says I say the first frost of the season
It sure is cold and I bet the sun won't show
for another hour.
Maybe some coffee
by candle just sit in the silence
sipping having breakfast until it's
time to go. Lets.

I'm a love and hate frosty, thought there was to many references to the road less taken and not enough of the actual road

Or whatever
