January 18th
 

now I am quietly waiting for the catastrophe of my personality to seem beautiful again

and interesting and modern


the country is grey and brown and white and trees

snows and skies of laughter always diminishing

less funny not just darker


not just grey

it may be the coldest day of the year

what does he think of that

I mean, what do I?


and if I do, perhaps I am myself again
