My City

My city
in the winter is
so cold,
like putting your
whole head in
the freezer.
When snow
falls it looks
like
somebody is eating
a donut and
white crumbs are
falling. My face
burns when I stay
out in the snow
for too long. It feels
like I am slapping
myself with a
raw fish. How
it burns
sometimes.
