When Spring arrives
and the Earth turns green and comes alive and the Sun warms my face and my bones
chilled to the core
by the Winter and its friends Ice and Snow
I could just pull my eyes out of my
head
and stamp all over them with my sassy summer sandals
that
pinch my feet
because
I hate the Spring.
I hate listening to cats looking for sex all night long.
I hate
the smell of fertilizer that stinks up the air
because everyone turns into
Old McDonald or that little girl in ” The Secret Garden
and they want to make ‘green things grow.’
Piffle! Stinky horrible PIFFLE
The only thing I like about Spring and the Summer
is when people
go outside and worship the Sun
and I can see their skin sort of mummify right there, in slow motion
and the air smells like barbequed food
and if you are really lucky
you can see yellow jackets fly off with pieces of meat from picnic tables.
Spring is a tease
it’s like Summer without the attitude
and it means that the Winter
is
Oh
so
very
far
away.
