Another Cold Morning
by Paul Hellweg
Seven degrees,
two feet of snow
I sip strong black coffee
waiting for the sun to appear
            with light
            and warmth
            and hope
but I feel sad
because I know the sun
doesn't give a shit
about me
or my hangover,
nor does it care
about
the young boys
and shy schoolgirls
who still think
the sun is for them,
but I'm glad they do,
and I pray no one
will ever tell them different,
or show them
            this poem.
