Cold morning

Scraping the butter

Before you can use it for your toast.

Leaving the pajamas on for extra insulation

While getting dressed for the day.

Wishing there was snow

So you could complain about it.

Realizing that all these concerns

Are petty when you see a homeless person walk by.

Wishing you could crawl back into bed

Not just for the warmth, but shame at your selfishness.
