Skin and bones
The temperature reached 42 degrees today
so I took off my skin and sat in my bones
the wind blew cool through my ribs
and every organ perked up
the cooler tempertures.
The sun sank slowly toward the west
feeling too cool I dressed again
skin first and then my shorts
Descent in hte eye of the law
I wend my way homeward.
