POSTCARD FROM THE SLOPE_LAST JANUARY

Last January 23rd was all about snow. What a different kind of January that was.

Sunday 8 a.m

–It’s still snowing
–There are snow drifts
–White blanket out there
–The wind looks fierce; the air is white
–They’re predicting 18 inches on WNYC
–Only people walking their dogs
–or shovelling their sidewalks
–are out on the snow thick sidewalk
–Bare tree branches shake heavy with snow
–Brownstone rooftops look downy soft
–Smartmom’s air conditioner, her window sills are snow platters
–Hepcat, Teen Spirit, OSFO are still sleeping
–Wait until they see what happened.
