Snowstorm

Snowstorm
I pretended to study life.
I just sat on the edge of the booth and stared at the floor.
Sitting with people I didn't know?
too sick to stay, too lonely to go.

Looking outside I saw it snowing?
I saw the radar.
A storm a few southern counties wide.
I walked with my hands in my pockets and a stupid smile.
This cross-eyed girl said, "Come and stay awhile."
She took a short cut to get next to me.

Suddenly winter was finished.
I never think of her in the summer.
Crazy things happen to me when it snows.
I once threw a snowball and nearly broke her jaw.
We took a short walk though a tall city.
