everything is fine

most of us
seem to be sure
of how
great things are
to come

others delusional
to their
surroundings
and manipulating their own
reality
into
what they
desire it to be


and then there's some
who sit here
on this cold porch swingset
in midjanuary
wondering
waiting
and
scared

just hoping
those dark skies
only have a blizzard
waiting behind them.
