looking through the straw

of a blue hat

a springtime accessory

or so they advertise

wishing that the springtime would

sweep away the wintertime and the

frozen feeling of rejection

not like ice but

the clammy water that drenches

through your coat and leaves you

cold

hiding underneath my layers of blue and green

waiting for a blue sky

because right now

i'm just pretending

looking through the straw

of a blue hat
