If you see the heavy set bald man kicking chunks of icy snow
down the way
or from a big pile of snow into the street,
do not question his sanity.

He is doing good for society.
He is doing his small part
to diminish the amount of snow piled up
in your environment
so that you will be able to walk about
more freely.

You don’t have to thank him
for his effort.
Just let him keep to how quiet work
as he kicks ice ball after ice ball down the sidewalk
into the street.

If he keeps at it, the snow should be all gone by
late April.
