winter weary
I am tired of wearing socks
my beloved sandals sidelined
I am tired of heavy jackets
cold freezing winds on my face
I am tired of icy sidewalks
grungy dirty cars in need of washing
I am tired of the pain in my arm
this damaged nerve so slow to heal
I am tired of naked trees
small birds foraging for seeds
I am tired of electronic devices
that refuse to function as they should
*******
I am more than tired
of political polarization
I am more then tired
of hate and bigotry of others
I am more than tired
of unfit and unstable leadership
I am more than tired
of threats of nuclear war
I am more than scared
