No snow

Ah, perspective.  The Pier One woman was thrilled last year.  She moved to Illinois for the snow.

It was warm in Illinois
It is warmer here
In Florida.
I close my eyes
Picture snow
On the palm trees,
Remember the sales clerk
At Pier One
On December 24.
She moved from Florida last year
To spend her retirement
In Illinois
So much snow
She said
It smells like snow today
She said
Isn’t it wonderful?
Isn’t it simply
Wonderful?
