Oblique Strategy: Build Bridges

17- FSF (Four Seasoned Fallacy) (Five, Seven, Five)

Sun shines so brightly
Snow melts off of yards and streets
Yet winter remains

Not sad like before
Still sad, but getting better
Yet winter remains

Is it just the meds?
I'm running on empty now
Yet winter remains

Spring has sprung at last
Leaves blooming brilliantly
Songbirds sing their songs

Clear skied horizon
I should feel so content and
Yet winter remains

Traces of the cold
The battered foliage weeps
Clovers only mourn

Coloring inside
The smudged lines of town borders
Nogood neigbors here

Would it be right to
Trade a vivid white landscape
For grey hued sameness

Suffocating me
This faded metropolis
Parking garage gloom

Another free space
Lost to the clever cabby
Yes, it's just the meds

Not a Phil Connors
Or even a Joel Barish
Faux Truman maybe

Oh well, snow's melting
(again) and (again) and (ag-
Yet winter remains.
