Damn, it's cold tonight

Damn, it's cold tonight.
Not January cold,
late October cold,
the cold you're not used to yet,
nor do you want
to be reminded of.
Summer's still on my mind
and I don't like
the abruptness
of the Canadian winds,
a slap in the face
to this jilted warm weather lover.

We Michiganders all pretend
to like the change of seasons.
Some of us just pretend
better than others.
