snowy snow snow snow
it was snowing
when
i left the house at 6:50 a.m.
during
the few times
i had the opportunity to look out the window
at the office
it was snowing
when i left the office
at 4:35 p.m.
i looked out
it wasn't snowing
i rolled up the hood on my coat
zippered the collar shut
put my hat in my bag
got down
to the street
through the revolving doors
i could see
people with umbrellas
whaaaaa
unzipped the collar
took out the hood
tucked my hair into the neck of the coat
pulled on my hat
pulled up the hood
when i got uptown
it looked
as if it had never stopped snowing
mushy intersections
replaced
the clear ones of the morning
the shoveled walks
were
now
littered with footprints
one nice thing
our friend
put
garlands
on the front gates
looks so pretty by the lamp light
dont you think?
