In this spoken‑word piece, the narrator laments an endless, bitter December, yearning for the warmth of July. He describes stockpiling groceries, the absurdity of trying to eat ice cream in the cold, and the physical challenges of winter—slipping shoes, an overflowing tub, and the feeling of being unable to rise after a fall. The monologue mixes humor with melancholy, repeatedly asking whether the winter will ever end and what it will feel like to emerge into spring after such a prolonged freeze. The closing line urges listeners to pull on tube socks, declaring that winter is here to stay.

But when it's done, will I just go outside and act like this had never been? When I wake, it's here again. Pull out your tube socks, 'cause the winter's here to stay.
