you can’t drink whisky outdoors
when snow hovers over the ground
and ice is what trickles
from your nose in self-defense
and breath is fire that you inhale
through a hard wool scarf
and fingers exposed turn
raw red then white then black
and toes packed too tight
imitate fingers but faster
and you have to keep your toque
down snug to keep your ears
soft enough to stay on your head
—then what is summer?

Saving Your Favourites
If you click on the title of a post, you will be taken to the archive copy of the text, where there are many options:
"Print this post" -- creates a printable screen
"Add to Favourites" -- See below
"Related Posts" -- other posts that are in some way similar
"(Visited N times)" -- Started Jan 5, 2010If you click "Add to Favourites", the software sets a cookie on your device. This cookie is quite harmless; however, it saves a list of your favourite posts on this site. Up to 99 of your favourites will appear on your computer only, in the list to the right, on the device that has the cookie. Note that favourites saved on one device will not be favourites on others, and that clearing your cookies will clear that particular device's list.
I am not sure about this, but the favourites list should work, even if you are not a subscriber. I know that it does work for subscribers.
