Elucidating Questions

Every year I wonder if I won’t acclimate to the cold weather

And then I’m wearing a knit cardigan and a t-shirt at -6

Despite having a disease that flares up at extreme temperatures

And not being able to tolerate the heat

At all

The cold never bothered me anyway

My one strength

My only claim to something kind of cool

I’m not cold

But you are

All you other people

With your mitts and your scarves and your hats and your thick coats

I laugh in your general directions because in this I win for once

Not beauty, not physique, not able-ness, not strength but

I don’t need a winter coat

I scared the hell out of Japanese people when it was -15 and I was wearing a t-shirt and a hoodie

My one super power

All I need is a tall mountain and an ice castle and I’ll sing Let it Go all night long

I suppose it’s better than nothing
