35 days til spring
yes
it snowed again
i had a massage appointment on the eastside
it was brisk
in the mid 30s
when i bussed cross town
at 9 AM
when i left the spa
at 11AM
it was snowing
big lovely wet flakes
the sort that don't stick
except
to your gloves or scarf
the sort
you can catch with your tongue
i bussed back cross town
walked up to
hale and hearty
for
some of their wonderful 10 veggie soup
stopped into
zabars
for
toonman's turkey meatballs
walked out of zabars
after maybe
20 min
to see
those lovely big wet flakes
had
turned
into
those little flakes
that seem
more like a snow shower
than snow fall
i didn't even feel like i needed to pull up the hood of my jacket
they were so light
we watched
the wolf of wall street
which
was
really
long
almost 3 hrs
really
involving
and
really
good
i looked out the window
to see
at least
an inch of new snow
had
accumulated
and
it was still falling
spring is a mere 35 days away
the eastside
is
a lot cleaner
than
the west
