This reality will surely change overnight, 

or later. Vibrant colours, as if a miracle,

will appear. Overnight, or later in the day.

Speculation becomes a greater force, as we

wait, counting on seasons to mark years.

Temperature has as much to do with it as 

our want or need for something more. We

wait for the visuals to just happen. Naturally. 

When it does, and as it does, we cannot help 

notice. Any day now, or any night. Or longer.
