One Degree of Separation
I check the weather on my phone
Before I step outside
To figure out the warmth
My clothes and jacket should provide.
Aside from what is in the sky,
Like clouds or sun or rain,
There’s other information
That a glance will help me gain.
For underneath the temperature
It tells me how it might
Feel different from the number
That they’ve listed on the site.
Today the temp was 55
When I walked out the door.
According to the phone, though,
It would feel like 54.
If you sense the distinction
In the day by one degree,
I tip my hat to you
For you’re a better man than me!
