It finally snows, five days after
\nthe first day of spring, and we\u2019re like,
\nwhere have you been, because by now
\nwe\u2019ve shelved the snow angels.
\nWe were thinking more like cherry blossoms.
\nThe fact is we\u2019ve adjusted our calendars;
\nseven leap months in nineteen years,
\nbecause this is supposed to be spring.<\/p>\n
So anyway we sit down together
\nat a table where everything\u2019s renewal,
\nrenewal, and under the table our boots
\nslush the floor and leave salt footprints.
\nWell, we\u2019re used to contradiction;
\nthere\u2019s salt water on the table, too.
\nWe carry our tears with us, in little bowls.
\nWe lug them across national borders
\nand the calendar. Meanwhile, the snow
\nfollows us just to say, get over yourselves,
\nwe all have our problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
