Snow Mountains
Snow mountains
Outside my home
The Adirondacks
Low and easily scaled
The neighbour’s kids
Walking the ridge
Sliding down to asphalt plains.
Surrounding the store
The Rockies.
Unscaled and lining the horizon
Spring melt reveal artifacts
Fossilized shopping carts
Mangled by winter
Hinting at a previous existence.
Outside of work
The Himalayas
Forever growing
And now towering above the world
Cars miniaturized at their foot
Nighttime mountain makers caravan in
Flashing lights announce
Storms of backhoes and dump trucks
Two months from now
All plains.
The Adirondacks
The Rockies
The Himalayas
All gone
Green plains outside my door
Where frogs explore the tropics
Concrete islands around the store
Relics removed with silty discharge remaining.
A grassy meadow across from work
A month of a salty melt water sea
Explored by ducks
Before the grasses reclaim the earth
And Groundhogs graze the land.
WEDNESDAY…
--- Day shift. Off
with not much sleep and plenty to do.
And it looks like Hoth outside.
Wind whipping snow about. Yuck.
--- On the plus, I get home to find my driveway done. Nice neighbour. Twelve hour shift followed by shoveling is
not nice.
THURSDAY…
--- Better sleep before this day. And less busy than yesterday.
FRIDAY…
--- Mild. Go for a
half hour walking in the woods. Should
have brought the snowshoes. Thought just
the woods trails would be hard packed enough… but did a little extra on an area
where only one other and their dog had been since the last snow.
SATURDAY…
--- Night shift.
Fairly tame one… most Saturdays are.
Wendy’s act as a little treat for the night.
--- Afternoon baseball on TV is a treat. Bring on baseball season.
SUNDAY…
--- Fairly lazy until ball.
We win a good game, 10-5. Lost
last week to a team that wasn’t as good.
Beat a better team this week. Who
knows.
--- Catch up on the Sunday TV thing tonight.
MONDAY…
--- Movies. Zero Dark
Thirty is really good. Paranormal
Activity 4 is really average… if that.
--- Snowshoe for an hour today. It’s above zero now temperature wise. A nice time.
TUESDAY…
--- Some computer and tax stuff to sort through today.
--- Still warm, doing a walk without the snowshoes today.
