ice
the rain came late
this afternoon
actually more of
a drizzle or mist
just enough
to coat the streets
before the temperature
drops below freezing
which means
we will wake to
a coating of ice
that will impair
our travel and leave
some of us stranded
or feeling fearful
I wonder
if it was a night
like this when those
who do such things
decided ICE
would be a good
acronym to
name themselves
Peace,
Milton
