Snow would do well

to don a set of spectacles,

approach the classroom’s

front, and lecture (as a

genuine solipsist for

this passing moment)

about his degrees,

his presence before

a swift freeze, and

his beauty before

and after uncertain

footprints following

his calm descent,

both the perfection

of the sky laying a

blanket on the earth

and the consummation

as humanity acknowledge

this presence and join it,

exultant to know something

grown near from afar.
