Krisantha Sri Bhaggiyadatta: Winter '84


 I tell the corner store owner
 'pretty cold out there'
 he says
 'ain't what it used to be'
 'oh', i say, 'why is that'
 innocently
 tensing
 wondering if coloured immigration
 has affected the seasons...
 'they've been fooling around
 with the weather',
 he says.
 [his wife nods]
 'ever since they sent a man
 to the moon
 it hasn't been right'
 
 oh, i say,
 breathing out
 intrigued
 'yeah, i know what you mean'
