I:
THE DAY I SPENT A YEAR
IN LYNDONVILLE, VT.
This is the day that...
the sun shone,
the clouds covered,
the air warmed,
the wind chilled,
the rain fell,
the hail pelted,
the foliage blazed,
the snow whitened,
all at least twice.
II:
TOO MUCH
Oranges,
reds,
yellows,
brilliant!
Then the snow came,
powdering the
trees.
Another color.
Oh my gawd!
III:
AND STILL I LOVE IT...
Across New Hampshire, wall-to-wall
and hill-to-hill, a carpet so
tacky you'd never buy it
for your home,
a rug so garish it peels
your eyelids back and
drops your jaw.
