Happy Teeth
On the 18th of this month the sun goes away.
In 8 days there will be nothing but deep dark and the occasional dusky light.
It will all be like a vampire’s paradise.
I like Vampires. They make me happy.
But, I don’t know that my love of the teeth-y creatures-of-the-night will compensate for the lack of sun.
Plus, there is the cold. And vampires really don’t like the cold.
They’re cold-blooded
Or no blooded.
Anyway, I already walk to school in the dark.
And home from school in the dark.
And just about everywhere else.
Really, the only time I see what might pass for the sun is in the middle of the afternoon out my classroom window. Which is a bitter sweet sight.
The pretty pink, purple, and blue bands of sunrise at noon while I am stuck indoors unable to frolic in the UV rays.
Luckily it’s currently 8 degrees outside, so I am not too tempted to call in sick for work and run to the beach for some sun worshiping fun.
I just press my face against the window. Hoping for some accidental beams.
