Suddenly Winter

I suddenly found myself sitting,

In a completely darkened room.

I stumbled towards the light switch,

How did it get so late, so soon?

My loathe of daylight savings,

Is a swath of who I am…

Skipping forward OK, but backwards,

Makes a premature old man.

The night becomes a jungle,

At 4:15 PM.

Errands require a flashlight,

As we watch the sunshine end.
