White Scarf

A white scarf
blew
through
the snow
as it stung my eyes
and froze my thighs
I want an omelet and I didn't
do my homework last night
It blew
into
the pond
and I thought to myself
how wrong
That the thing isn't frozen
Briarcliff Manor seems an eternity away
and day by day
another lifetime passes
And every color and lack thereof reminds me
of my foothills, gardens, friends, & classes
Someone must've been partying hard that Saturday
to be out in the cold so nude
I imagined they were drunk and extremely rude
and I smiled with the feeling
I knew them.
