17℉

17℉

A number is just a number until attached to a thing.
For the right-brained
One, two, three,
For some, more or less,
How does it feel?


Take calories for example:
One may consume 2000
And wreak havoc, while
Those filling up on veggies
Salad, whole grains equal
That number and more!
One person gains, another
Loses, looses.


Not all temperatures are the same
Is 17℉ cold or frigid?
My weather app ascribes both
It depends.
Is it sunny or cloudy,
Night or day, full
Or waning moon?


Monday, I skied in 17℉
And felt warm, almost hot!
Yesterday, I skied in 17℉
In blustery snowy conditions
And never fully warmed up.


I awoke today to 2℉
And didn’t know how
To start the day
Where is the gauge?
