Snirt Season

 Snirt Season

…happens when old snow

is not frequently refreshed 

by new snow, as it was so

nicely all through February.

But so far March has given  

us a foot and then gotten stingy, 

so snirt now borders 

our sidewalks and roads. 

March distracts us

with wild winds—

gusts up to 36 mph,

my phone tells me—

but still I prepare to leave

for the Statehouse Protest—

where temps will feel like 

minus one degree!

We protesters shall not

be deterred by wind, nor

snirt, nor sub zero temps.  

We shall carry our signs

and defy Trump, Musk, and 

all their tax avoiding supporters—

until Zelensky and Ukraine get 

the support they need and deserve.
