THE SNOWMAN WATCHES FIREWORKS
It’s the Fourth of July
before the Snowman knows
winter’s over.
He’s read about inertia
and the secret forces
of nature.
This is what holds him together
through the summer months:
the thinking and thinking.
You are allowed to forget
when you are thinking.
Overhead, the bombs are bursting in air.
Just beyond, the stars look like spilled milk.
