Can you feel the difference
between fifty-five and fifty-seven?
Ninety-one and ninety-three? Nine and eleven?
How about thirty-one and thirty-three?
(I’m talking fahrenheit degrees.)
These two make a difference you can see.
And what is your heart’s melting point?
The two degrees that tip you over?
What tiny change, made one more time,
will make you come alive?
Or kill you, if you are a snowman.
