Gene's Valentine

Even when it's cold out he drives
With all the windows down 
He claims it's his Ukrainian childhood 
He can't get enough fresh air 
A friend of a friend I don't
See him often now or ride
In the van his father left him
Before his mother died
Through the freezing streets 
As much as my imagination wants to
The cold exciting him
To stories of warm bread
Baking every morning
Going down to fetch some
