i have never understood when

someone tells me that snow is beautiful

the shimmer of white dust

settling like a veil on the now dying grass

the grey clouds they've descended upon

the yellow of dog piss giving it its only color.

how is that gorgeous?

don't you want to make a snow angel?

let's go sledding!

i want the summer

i want the springtime

i want to open my sunroof

feel the cool breeze on my skin

take of this goddamn hoodie

go outside

go on a walk

look at the trees

remember that people exist.

i've never liked flowers

i don't have a good sense of smell

but I would take the pain of a beesting

over the tears of a snowman any day.
