“Some Words for the Week”

The snow falls on the mountain

six inches in the last three hours

meanwhile people I once knew

get engaged get rich

see the world go to bars

fall in and out of love

live young peoples lives

while I shovel a path

from the front door

to the woodshed

from the front door

to the drivers side door

then I start my car

so it’ll be warm by the time

I have to leave for work

as the storm flutters down

and the rest of the world goes on
