Outside's Cold, Help Yourself to Anti-Freeze!

I live in a country

that's all the fucking year round cold

and instead of coffee or tea

one has to drink anti-freeze every morning.

But there is also a warm place

a place to cozy up,

to replicate hot meanings

and to fondle one's spirit.

And that place can be anywhere

Anywhere

outside my poem!
