in the cold night air(i live)

by Antwan Fields - Aries

smoke rises from my mouth and i breathe it back in
the air is icy, the night just plain cold
i find this kind of night lacking severely in fun
but do i get a fucking choice?
i walk along caring not that i am freezing
or that its density is falling
its a beautiful night to sit a home and read a book
but do i? NO!
i stand on halsted, never caring that the cold
is biting into my jacket, iciliy hard
i sit on the bench and look down the street knowing
that i wont be back once it starts snowing
i freeze, slowly feeling the effects 
and ignoring them stupidly,but i feel that i just HAVE to be out here
in boys town
why?
in this neighborhood, in the cold night air, i am alive!!

Reason for writing:

    upcoming winter...im not going back out there until may, at the least
