beautiful day

What an incredibly lovely day! I was wearing short sleeves, the warm wind was blowing, children were playing at the park, gulls soared over the river, and my love was beside me. As pleasant as it was, I couldn't help feeling an undercurrent of tension. It's just so very wrong for it to be this pleasant in January. Where's the snow? Where's the tightness in your chest because the air is too cold to breathe? I suppose it will be here soon enough. I hope it will. I can't help feeling worried about global warming, even as I'm sunning myself by the water's edge.
