New behaviors

We are not best friends with our next door neighbors.  I admit it... we barely speak.  There are several reasons.  I will not go into it here.  There*s probably a lot to be said on both sides.  The last snowfall my beloved got going with the snowblower and proceeded to clear not just our own front walk, but also four other front walks down the street.  Like chain saws with undergrowth, it seems once one gets started with a snowblower, one would like to clear the world of snow.  Every action has a ripple effect.  I am inside the house considering the endless possibilities.


As we wait to shovel the walk
The next door neighbor
Goes by,
Clears our walk of snow,
Proceeds down the block
To the next house.
This is new behavior.
It seems he caught it
From the last snowfall,
When my beloved
Got going with the snowblower,
Proceeded five houses
Down the block.         
It is amazing what behaviors
Catch on.
The possibilities
Are endless.
