Aquarius Season

Everyone but Aquarians hate February
and for good reason:
the weather is terrible and the reality
of all of our shiny resolutions have worn dull.
Drowning in hyper-commercialized displays
of affection, the shortest mont of the year
somehow seems the longest.

But our love of summer is borne
from mid-February:
the time we mentally and physically
stand on the cliff of our tolerance
for dealing in darkness
so sure we cannot possibly take
one more day of this
And in our taking of this,
since there is not much else to do,
we begin to dream through our restlessness
of a time that will be better suited
for all we want to do.

Everyone but Aquarians hate February
and for good reason:
the weather is terrible and by its oppressive nature
it temporarily takes all the unbelievers
against their will
with us
turning the restless into revolutionaries.
