"snowday" poems
The day had been set,
And we were all ready--
The crunchy snow was waiting too—
The frigid sky watched us overhead.
Anticipation was building
like steam in the pit of my stomach
We leapt out of the truck
And sunk right into the snow.
After a few kids slid down
The rollercoastering hill,
I went down screaming,
Blurred colors rushed into my eyes.
My tube detached from my ****
Snow went everywhere:
In my face, down my back
My cheeks were frozen in place.
I arrived at the bottom,
Quicker than I expected,
And waited in the powder
For a snowmobile boy
The contraption roared and sped
I dropped the tube,
And held on for my life,
Then dropped myself too.
We tried again,
With the tube around my middle,
The tube a giant donut
I was the creamy center.
I made up to the top,
Triumphantly soaked from my outside in,
Cheers resounded and bounced
In the valley and off the frozen lake.

Turn the snowing into poems
and color up a storm...
daunting as it comes to you
and placid when it's gone
Wrap the edges of your thought
encapsulate the cold
Spin magic snowflake carpets
with epics never told
A road runs somewhere through this
though eyes defy my sight
I know, I know you have to go
For now, just hold me tight...

Snowday, too, on top of the Monday Fed Holiday.
Nations are minds made up. Agreements, elders made
with all they made believe.
Let's pretend, after seven decades, we are children,
let us spout off about absolutes and insoluble angst,
natural, in unconstitutional retyings of the national
spirit,
we
the
people most exceptionalistly educated and ---
Confuse, confuse muse and music?
Magnification and magic, majesty and jest, me?
My first thought on waking, or reaction acknowledging,
science, if any thing is sharp, it was made to become so.
Crystal vision, any reader in this medium has,
an attainment,
merit worn
by knowing
words hold
thoughts and thoughts occur in superstringy gnosisnot.
