Winter in August

Early in the morning my teeth chatter,
my legs -- uncovered from the night -- shiver and shake.
The sweater I wear over my night clothes will be shed as soon as the sun arises,
but here in the pre-dawn hours in the middle of the hottest month of the year
it feels like winter to me.
It's no wonder I always overdress.
