Hibernation

We all have a security blanket.
Something that makes us feel comfortable.
In the winter I become a hermit.

Others find peace at the supermarket.
Every aisle a book in the Bible.
We all have a security blanket.

Satellites fired into Earth orbit
Reduce conversation to clear signals.
In the winter I become a hermit.

I know a guy that drinks till he vomits.
He cradles moonshine and smokes the herbal.
We all have a security blanket.

Video games with seven hundred bit
Graphics--making reality crumble.
In the winter I become a hermit.

The coming of spring is my manumit:
Backyard barbeques, friends, family, festivals.
We all have a security blanket.
In the winter I become a hermit.
