Good morning!
Another two inches of snow overnight,
on top of what fell yesterday.
This is like counting the recent pounds showing up on the scale.
But like spring snow, this weight will melt quickly.
(Because God, Angels and the Miraculous are on my side,
enlightened, weightless, ethereal without gravity)
Today my job is to buy a beautiful place mat,
napkin, dinner setting, fine utensils, a glass and candles.
And one perfect fruit.
Aw Jeez, will that be a mango, a pomegranate,
a cluster of grapes, a banana?
