Snow…
School…
Why,
Oh Why am I here?
Isn’t snow supposed to bring joy
And happiness to kids?
Bring days off,
Or at least some sleep?
Snow is supposed to rejuvenate us all.
Today,
Is didn’t.
It tired us out,
It made commutes harder.
Snow…
Adults don’t understand
Snow…
I weep when I think of all of the other kids
Sleeping
Playing
Escaping school…
Don’t get me wrong…
I enjoy school,
But
Snowdays are the best…
This was only one in so many chances…
And now…
It’s gone.
I am here…
Imagining
Dreaming,
Hallucinating,
Fantasizing,
Visualizing,
Me,
Having the day they are…
A Snowday.
