Freezer

I stand in a night shirt at the north pole
The merciless icy wind is taking its toll
I'm numb, unable to move on my own
Yet shivering out of control
So cold and so alone
So alone
And frozen
Frozen to the bone.
‘Hey, what was that noise?’
‘Oh, wait a minute boys.
Never mind. I know where I've been
I was sleep-walking and ended up in the freezer again.’

--Aaron Cook, Mar. 4, 1997
