Will be sizzling.

the sieve and the sand 
the other way around –
once in high school i woke up in may and went to school in shorts and a tshirt – flip flops…
i stayed after because i was in a play or something, when I got out at 5pm there was 4 inches of snow on the ground, my toes were FREEZING.
and my car never EVER warmed up….
it was awesome.
You only have 4 syllables in the last line, but is was cool (pun intended).
i say “sizzling” with three syllables.
although, the 5-7-5 is a rough translation of the form. a lot of haiku poets don’t stick to that nearly as much as i normally do. my master told me that after I have written 10,000 over at least 10yrs I can deviate if I want to.
Is that a reference to your biography?
