the beginning of winter

first there's "can't-wait-for-it-to-happen"
then comes "it's-happening-but-it's-gonna-end-someday-sob-sniff"
then comes "am-not-getting-into-it-it-never-lasts"

then comes the winter.

The best laid plans o' mice and men gang aft agley. I think I'll go back to watching T.V.
