Mad in January...

Lots of people go mad in January. Not as many as in May, of course. Nor June. But January is your third most common month for madness.

January

Excellent read by R.A.D. Stainforth...

You sashay in,

buoyant in a woolly thing,

say it's better

than long underwear,

you think of it

as some kind of holy,

since your other sweaters

were put to sleep.

Turn around, then ― 

give me a side view,

come roost your silhouette

in the influence of my lap,

haberdasher of presses,

of all things deep.
