I'm inside now (old poem)

i'm inside now// and i can hear my sister ironing// in the room down the hall// the iron// hisses// smoothing out// clean cotton wrinkles// preparing a straight face// for tomorrow's travails// i'm inside now// and the wind won't stop howling// just to think// it's still february//

you come in out of the forest and put in some hair gel. // It's nighttime. // Ready for the city.
