Walking in Spring in Suburbia

The lights reflect

While walking in spring

In Suburbia

The lights reflect off the apartment building

In suburbia

All that light

And Mirrors

The acceptable chill in the air

On this here day 

in early March

In Suburbia

It should be colder

Right now

The lake should be frozen over

Right now

There should be a late season

Dirty winter snow

littering the ground

Right now

On this day in early March

In Suburbia

But this past winter 

the winter was warmer than usual

This year

The winter had less snow than usual

This year

The winter was not like last winter

This year

We had record snow

Last year

But at this time we walk on barren ground

On this day in early March

And it is all grey

In early March

In suburbia
