IT IS 16°. WE ARE PRETENDING IT IS JULY.
The thermometer says Hypothermia. The speakers say Summertime.
We are gaslighting ourselves into survival.
Dabgo (Music Bingo) at 3 PM. The theme is Yacht Rock & Summer Hits. We are going to blast Michael McDonald and Christopher Cross until the sheer smoothness melts the permafrost.
Come sit in our former Dollar Store. Close your eyes. Pretend you are on a boat, and not in a frozen strip mall in Putnam County. If you see a palm tree, do not lick it. It is a hallucination brought on by the cold. The last person who got stuck to their hallucinated tree is still in the hospital.
