[New-Poetry] Come In From the Cold

[Alan C Golding]

Is this just vulgar electricity
   Is this the edifying fire
   (it was so pure)
   Does your smile's covert complicity
   Debase as it admires
   (just a flu with a temperature)
   Are you just checking out your mojo
   (oohoo)
   Or am I just fighting off growing old
   (just a high fever)
   All I ever wanted
   Was just to come in from the cold

[Extra credit to anyone who can name the author without Googling.]

Without googling (promise): Joni Mitchell, from the Night Ride Home
album.

Do I get my A now?
