if i say: I'm not myself--

i laugh myself off the

corners of a mirror.

then thank something

or other for the

everchanging.

with a ferocious

vehemence, clear as

water and electricity.

Snow fell unforecasted today
Carpeted our little acre with uniqueness
Of lightest, whitest, purest tarpaulin
That cloaked the sun-faded plastic toys
Dignified the newly-naked trees
Yet set young minds free.
