It is a cold day
with skies grey
and darkening
just when you’d hope that they’d brighten.

It is clammy out
and fogs are rising across the state.
It is an unpleasant day
moist and with diminished travel conditions.

I do not recommend this day
for most
and if you have the opportunity
do what you can to skip this day
but
if you cannot
if you are required by temperament or circumstance
to soldier on
then good luck
and more power to you.

If it helps,
then at the least
keep in mind
that the day
grey and wet as it may be
will end.

Every day finally
will be done.
