One Degree of Separation

I check the weather on my phone

Before I step outside

To figure out the warmth

My clothes and jacket should provide.

 

Aside from what is in the sky,

Like clouds or sun or rain,

There’s other information

That a glance will help me gain.

 

For underneath the temperature

It tells me how it might

Feel different from the number

That they’ve listed on the site.

 

Today the temp was 55

When I walked out the door.

According to the phone, though,

It would feel like 54.

 

If you sense the distinction

In the day by one degree,

I tip my hat to you

For you’re a better man than me!
