AS I PREPARE THESE CALENDARS
ABOUT A MONTH IN ADVANCE I
CAN’T HELP TO PONDER THE
QUESTION, ”IS IT OVER YET?!?!!!”
I AM SURE YOU ALL KNOW WHAT
I AM TALKING ABOUT, WINTER.
AS A NATIVE TO THIS AREA I
THINK I GO THROUGH THE SAME
CYCLE AS EVERYONE. SINCE
OUR FIRST BITE OF COLD IN
OCTOBER I ENJOYED GETTING
OUT MY WINTER CLOTHES, IT’S
LIKE SHOPPING BECAUSE YOU
NEVER QUITE REMEMBER WHAT
YOU HAVE. THE COZY NIGHTS
AND ESPECIALLY WATCHING THE
FIRST SNOW FLAKES FLOAT
GENTLY DOWN. I HOPE AND PRAY
FOR THE PICTURUESQUE WHITE
CHRISTMAS, WHICH WE WERE
GRANTED. THIS NOSTALGIA FOR
WNY WEATHER ONLY SEEMS TO
LAST FOR A SMALL TIME.
AND THEN ALONG WITH THE
REST OF YOU, I GET OVER IT. I
START THINKING OF COZY
NIGHTS AS LOCK DOWN. I
DREAD MY THERMOSTAT AS IT
CALLS MY NAME . EVERYTIME I
TURN THAT LITTLE SUCKER EVEN
A QUARTER OF AN INCH I SWEAR
I CAN HEAR IT LAUGHING AT ME.
AND THEN COMES THE THOUGHT
OF THOSE BEAUTIFUL
SNOWFLAKES THAT I WATCHED
FALL GRACEFULLY TO THE
GROUND. NOW THEY SLAM
INTO MY WINDOW AND CLOG UP
THE STREETS, I ONCE AGAIN
PUT ON MY RIDUCULOUS HUGE
BOOTS AND GO IN FOR BATTLE.
I KICK AT MY SHOVEL ,BECAUSE
OF COURSE MY ONLY PLATOON
MEMBER IS PROMPTLY FROZEN
IN A BANK OF SNOW.
FINALLY KICKING IT LOOSE,
(NOT WITHOUT DAMGE TO MY
FOOT). I BEGIN THE DIG OUT.
AS I DIG AND STRAIN TO SEE
SIDEWALK I MAKE IT ALL THE
WAY DOWN TO THE STREET.
FEELING VERY ACCOMPLISHED,
ONLY TO TURN AROUND AND
SEE THAT I HAVE LOST THIS
BATTLE. I AM NOW SNOWED
OUT OF THE HOUSE AND ALONE
AT THE END OF THE
SIDEWALK.WITH NO REMNANTS
OF MY SHOVELING LEFT
BEHIND ME. I GIVE IN AND
SHOVEL MY WAY BACK TO THE
DOOR. I PEEL OF MY UNIFORM,
WALK BY THE THERMOSTAT
REALLY CRANK IT UP, I LAUGH
WITH IT THIS TIME SAYING
BACK, “SOON YOU WILL BE
OFF.” BUT SOFTLY IN MY HEAD I
CAN ONLY THINK
“IS IT OVER YET?!?!”
