Cold, Cold Again?

It's getting cold again
Damnit I thought I thought
This was supposed to be over
It's spring now and all the girls—
What? Yes. It's spring now.
Or it should be spring.
Spring now and all the women
Of New Orleans are starting
Not to wear clothes, so this
Should be over.
But sitting there in the chill
Two calico cats perfectly still
Squatting on the window sill
Under the banana leaves.
I flew North too soon &
You're there & it's
Getting
Cold
Again
Damnit I thought I thought
This was supposed to be over
It's spring now and all the girls—
What? Yes. It's spring now.
Or it should be spring.
Spring now and all the women
Of New Orleans are starting
Not to wear clothes, so this
Should be over.
But sitting there in the chill
Two calico cats perfectly still
Squatting on the window sill
Under the banana leaves.
I flew North too soon &
You're there & it's
Getting
Cold
