the second of february

it seems
the groundhog did not see his shadow
didn’t get frightened
by what wasn’t really there

an early spring
in this new winter of discontent

a fond farewell
to freezing to death
thumbing our noses
at prognosticators and science

we would take the word
of a rodent
a giant marmot
a member of the squirrel family
over an other’s

we deserve what we get
