It Snowed
Too Much Snow
Unlike the Eskimos we only have one word for snow but we have a
lot of
modifiers for that word. There is too much snow, which, unlike rain,
does not
immediately run off. It falls and stays for months. Someone wished for
this
snow. Someone got a deal, five cents on the dollar, and spent the
entire family
fortune. It’s the simple solution, it covers everything. We are never
satisfied
with the arrangement of the snow so we spend hours moving the snow from
one
place to another. Too much snow. I box it up and send it to family and
friends.
I send a big box to my cousin in California. I send a small box to my
mother.
She writes “Don’t send so much. I’m all alone now. I’ll never be able
to use so
much.” To you I send a single snowflake, beautiful, complex and
delicate;
different from all the others.
P.S. When I drove Noel to work this morning I was looking at the snow on all the trees and said, “This is kind of nice.” Noel felt my forehead to see if I was feeling okay. We’ll see how long it lasts 🙂
