dreamed of us again
of the past that never was
you wept, held me close

we hold each other
and I know it is not real
dawn, the dream dissolves

aka Snowpocalypse, Snowmageddon

The National Weather Service says we got 32.8" this weekend, with another round scheduled to begin Tuesday afternoon.

Texas isn't looking so bad right now.

Sunday Feb 7

1 borrowed shovel + 1 neighbor kid with his own

shovel + cash + 90 minutes = cleared car

the real problem is where to put the snow

parking lot plowed down to bare pavement but

cars still buried

what is the forest retention area?

it's that scraggly line of trees seen behind my

building, between my apartment complex

and the condos next door

seriously, it's a protected forest area designated

by the state of maryland, complete with wildlife

these are deer tracks, i believe. i saw does with

bambis this fall

Circling in a cab

Where is the blasted window?
Head throbbing, I wake
