Snow in the City

At first there was just clouds and little flakes
Which very quickly turned into more flakes
Then the sky turned purple and strange
and the lightening danced wildly above
while the thunder rebounded off the buildings
And the snow started to hide things as a vale
Everything was covered and recovered
Til after a night of crazy dances and laughter
the storm moved off to the north and east
to find other friends to play with

The Morning found currier and ives everywhere
with snow piled and sticking everywhere

the roads were only know by the lines of cars
Trees seemed children frozen and laughing
Sidewalks became tunnels lined with deep piles
roads became pea soup and sherbet
People bundled and slipping dig out cars
watch shrieking children and join in randomly
While other huddle in coffee shops over scones
Cars twirl and slide and spin and refuse to move
Bus spray slush on passing people who curse
And Subway trains continue as if nothings different

And wrapped in a long scarf, stuffed in a coat
with a warm hat pulled over my ears
and hands huddling in pockets
I brave the snow piles laughing a cars
Swearing with others at the spraying buses
And ride the unstoppable subway trains
While contemplating how much I wish
I wish I was home.
