Think Snow
I believe milk is melted snow.
I believe I went sledding once, hit a tree and shattered my glasses. Worse things have happened, to older people. Birds don’t know where to go in a snow and so go very deep inside of themselves. Newly fallen snow, the world’s worst jigsaw puzzle. Dirty snow welcomes everyone, like the poverty train. A woman in furs is a statue of snow. After a conversation that was useful in the beginning, snow becomes useless and, finally, worthy of blame. We were now hoist by our own snow. There is no harder work than not snowing. Snow has time on its hands, never afraid of dying but always in a hurry to. Snow, the first séance. We thought about it for a while and then looked up. I knew there would be a picture of a samovar in the dictionary, and there was.
