Haiku
90s winter lessons
*** Frozen fingers can – Tie no shoes. Hot baths bring no – warmth. Cold water thaws. *** Whenever my toes or fingers go numb from the cold, and I rush home in search of warmth, I hover my hand over the hot water tap. But I'm an 80s kid and grew up in the 90s when playing football with ice on the pitch was still allowed. I always remember the sting of bitter shock and disappointment when my freezing cold toes hit the steaming hot water of a lovingly prepared bath.
