oh, January snow, how
you fall, dry & light
all morning & most of
the afternoon, as if
a being — intelligent &
rational — ran the show
not that such a being
exists, no, snow’s from
a rulebook humans are
ever learning to read
these days they claim
to “know” about gravity
pressure, temperature
& yes, the ion game —
intermolecular bonds
ergo, voila, snow
yet (I’m licking my paw)
they can’t actually see
electron pairs bond
(whisker twitch) though
certain 21st-century
wunderkind skilled in
microscopy claim
to see them — but why
go on about science?
I’d rather see a mouse
running on snow
