&ldquo;the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.&rdquo;<br /> <br /> <br /> ― Jack Kerouac, On the Road


the first snowfall

frosts in the morning air;

it bites my nose

and pricks my fingers

as the sky fades

back to blue and gray.

 

the first snowfall

is sprinkled over the againg dawn;

it crystallizes the silent light

and freezes my wet hair

as a pair of hopeful lights

come to a stop at my side

 

the first snowfall

flashes by me in the countryside;

it taps on the window

and breathes a frosted breath on my eyes

as I sink deeper into my seat,

which introduces me to the new day.

You're more greatful for the bus when it picks you up just before you are about to freeze to death.
