the plowmen

as the scotsman and adrian know,
our town is bequeathed with snow

soon the midnight tim's will be
convergent with plowmen's trucks
rumbly diesel warming while
the plowmen order their triple-triple fuel
for the all-night runs

and kids scoot down campbell's hill
ruddy cheeked and fingertips frozen
sweaty bodies steaming from the neck
parents happy for the sound sleep that
winter play brings
