2022 Polar Vortex - Across Wide Band Of North America

Power outage here within 
mine happy hunting grounds 
(as well the ghosts of Lenni Lenape),
viz Perkiomen Valley, Pennsylvania
December twenty third 
two thousand twenty two wrought
(lasting greater part of twelve hours)
impossible mission to keep warm

generating body heat
necessity courtesy three dog night,
sure as I'm sitting here
nevertheless found yours truly
yearning for global warming
while dentures chattered 
a mile a minute then jumped 
out me mouth 

and scrabbled, scrambled 
and scratched along floor
leaving corpse like body abed 
stiff as a board
dead cold analogous, 
when rigor mortis
grips lovely bones 
immune to brutal cold.
  
Ordinarily, the weather
considered non trees
son us, a neutral subject on par
with non nose 
wrinkling odoriferous cheese
usually ranks as minor distraction,
without whether yours truly agrees
or not, except 
during balmy temperatures,
an unavoidable tease,

whereat sub zero degrees,
whether Centigrade or Fahrenheit
demands human sacrifice
(me anima knocking knees),
no negotiating with Ole Man Winter,
he requests (lest 
he continue deep freeze
maelstrom until the end of time),
nothing 'cept a healthy seas
sunned Homo sapien to appease

his insatiable appetite
froze to the core,
when all body functions cease,
thus until onset of frostbite disease
transformed me into a human popsicle
obliging surrender of self,
no matter I always minded "p's"
and "q's", and adhered
to selfless decrees
not until that moment - this me's

lee sad excuse e'en for missing link,
said personal radar of this primate
suddenly went haywire madly wheeze
zing, as if giant hand (some
harried styled swiftly tailored
paw) did squeeze
traumatizing, suffocating, mangling
constricting, asphyxiating... sensation
(surprised muss elf, and all my enemies,
hence survived death as a breeze)

when similar to Socrates
ill fate found him downing hemlock,
necessitated, I reluctantly quaffed antifreeze
as preservative, plus 
out of necessity to survive
being clobbered, buffeted,
assaulted...finally please
zing lee melting titanic iceberg
more bearable on par with a sneeze
than compared to frigidity 
of writer's block.
