WINTER’S ARRIVAL

 

At about eleven PM

Eastern Standard Time…

Our rain turned into snow,

A slippery, slushy rime.

–

Worcester, Mass., is getting

What was promised all along…

What was originally wetting,

Turns into a Christmas song.

–

The flakes are getting bigger

As I monitor CCTV…

My relief is coming, I’ll go on my round

And I hope that is safe for me…?
