(03) You know it's winter

You can tell it's winter
when you peer through the opening
in the vertical blinds
and all you can see is
a formless, five-o'-clock gray sky,
no matter the time of day.

You can tell someone's died
when it looks like winter,
at least `til the initial shock
has been rubbed away
and everyone sits down to
fried chicken and three-bean salad.

Have you noticed no one
seems to die in summer?
Or are we then preoccupied
with swimming pools and tall iced drinks,
air-conditioned shopping malls,
and keeping the grass cut right?
