Decisions

It's April they say and some of the folks
are taking their word while some think it's a joke.
They are running around in blouses and sweaters
pretending this snow is just tiny white feathers.
But the crows are sitting quite low in the trees
and geese on their nests are knitting chemise
Woolly little shirts for their babies to wear
when they peck their way out into this frozen white air.
And I am out walking in my best woolen cap
and scarf and some mittens and other warm _____.
