but in

cafes

theaters

terminals

mall shops

gymnasiums

wherever

life mingles

sharing heat

from body cells

with other life

its like penguins

crowding up

to keep warm

in icy climes

harnessed

a rural barn

where pigs

or cattle

sleep

your

double bed

let that dog

climb atop

the covers

invite

a safe body

to help save

utility expense
