The Night Before The Winter Solstice

So, it's raining
and dark
now, on the night
before the winter solstice,
and tomorrow morning
at five
I have to drive
my neighbor and his wife
to the airport,
and I am doing it
as a good thing to do
because my neighbor needs help
and I thought
that I would help out,
but it could
get cold tonight
and the water on the roads
could freeze
and I could be driving
on the freeway,
which I don't normally do,
on ice,
so since tomorrow
is the day of the so-called
end of the world,
I'm a little nervous,
but, I don't know,
we'll see

what happens.
