I have never seen this much frozenness in all my young life
sidewalks are slivers
icicle cathedral
bonus round: Can you guess the last year NYC got this much snow?
My young life
has been punished for this much precip

I have never known a snowfall like this in my young life to happen.

ATL

this slush gets
spies
skeleton keys
opens my boots;

warmth in an outlet mall parking lot
two dumb bees.

ATL

warmer, by comparison
Jogging, by Thomas Edison
the light gifts in a calisthenic
reactionary trot

larger dogs dog us
into the suburbanization
and the developers lean,
the callous red soil on the tees

There is a humidity about angling
and this pale foil of dusk.

This morning, there would have been rain.

Temperatures drop, now the dryness

The flaky, itchy dryness of snow

and the wind off the channel.

an unsecret weather release
of small swiping flakes
this downy spoke

Grandfather olympics
ices the creep.

Brick outside, stolid.

soup of rain
spewing out of a blender

my eyes wrinkle in the foam of school buses
my heart skips in the double dutch
but the sun is gone
and it took half my paycheck.
