it snowed outside
not like the last time,
letting us all down
a parent told me,
"i kept my son home from school today because of the snow"
it's a snow emergency,
the snowpocalypse
the streets are plowed and sanded,
stained muddy brown
the sidewalks shoveled,
boots scraping on the concrete
not enough wind for more snow
it's dangerous out there,
that little bit of snow
kept all those children from coming to school
made all the ones who did show up
dismiss themselves early
it's the end of the school day as we know it and i might feel fine.
