In Time, I Will find it, and I Will Silence it

There's dirty snow on either side of the drive,
A black puddle in its middle. It's warmed up
Enough for the snow to start melting, but not
Very quickly. The sun is unseen. I stare out
And shudder, absorbing the cold, as a tinny-
Voiced cheerleader chants in my mind. “Cheer
Up, you old grump. The world is fine. The only
Thing dismal is you.”
