coveting january

gifting pain and social pressure.
puffy coat for cooling weather.
dull work parties with bright lights.
shorter days and longer nights.
chilly wind and frozen rain.
shivering knees and static cling.
one lost mitten, layered clothes.
itchy sweater, runny nose.
short of cash and long of doubt.
so much hurrying about.
waiting, pushing, smile and sigh.
as your life keeps ticking by.
cling to simple things and pure.
yet complications still endure.
keep your cup of christmas cheer.
i'll see you in the clean, new year.
