  I put on my overcoat and
 walked into winter - my teeth chattered rhythms
 And they were grouped in twos or threes,  like a
 Morse code message was sent from me to
 Me. And cars on slippery slopes were stuck: people
 pushing through their mittens as I was beginning
  to feel it soaking through my shoes, getting
colder  with every  step i took  to your apartment, dear.
 And I was a kaleidoscope:  the
 
 snow on my lenses distorting the image
  of what was only one of you and I
 didn't know which one to address as all your lips moved
 (w/Riff 1)
 and this is when I forget breathe
 and all the things I scripted, they sound unfounded.
 And the look that you're giving me,
 That tells me exactly what you are thinking:

They  got their mothers worked into a panic
sledding  down hills into oncoming traffic
 the parents  layered clothes until the children couldn't move and then
