Sundown shovelingpacking troublesat the approved hourPlow pushes worries asidein hegemonic heaves
Dig the heavy shitat the end of the driveContemplatinga different tomorrowif only we had chosena warmer climate
Still we persisttossing memories asideThis stitch in time savessunriseand we’re shoveling
For Magaly’s prompt to the Real Toads: RECYCLE A SAYING
(A stitch in time saves nine.)
...and continue shoveling, we shall.
ReplyDeleteHi Marian ~~ I believe this one is 'true Marian' this morning. Nicely portrayed mess. I remember the three winters back when I lived in Manchester, NH. Even when no more snow fell overnight if we were ahead of the plows, there would be a couple of feet pile at the driveway's end. We have a nice house for sale fifty miles north of Houston, TX. On top of a hill, backing onto a golf course, with no fences in sight. Best school district in Montgomery County, better than any of Houston's. Entice you? Doesn't snow.
ReplyDelete..
A piece full of speculation and might-have beens.. what can we do but keep shovelling?
ReplyDeleteI really admire the way you included the sayings, very original.
Luv the "hegemonous heaves" image
