"Spring Forward, Fall Back" - another TTC poem

On my way home today in the streetcar, I looked up and found this poem by Troy Jollimore. Absolutely loved it. Enjoy. :)

Spring Forward, Fall Back
In November, the hours are slower;
winding down weather, the fresh lather
of a first snow. The winter,
with its months of hospital afternoons

waits huddled just over the border.
And ice will make all the distances
that much further. Speak now, kiss now
before the river freezes altogether.
