The Emotional Driver: White Out

White Out

Fluffy white granular
In amounts that would make an addicts heart beat
Fast furious sniffing of nose
Drip drip drip

White powder swirling
Inhale through the nose
Back of your throat sneezed and siezed by a dust mote
Burn down to your lungs

But this white is different
But through my eyes just the same
The power it used to give me
Is now just frozen rain

White out blinding storm
Of cold and winter tale
Of angels and carrot nosed men
With eyes made out of coal

For this powder can be eaten
Or thrown or shoveled
Not down noses or into pipes
But onto the sidewalks and sideyards

Falling sticking melting
Icy crystalized delights
Fashioned out of natures foundry
The felicity of man
