Obstinate bits of snow dot the city, especially, in sheltered spots or in designated areas of major parking lots, dumped there by city trucks throughout the winter. A few Aprils back I noticed this same phenomena outside my townhouse.
April Ablutions
Like a curved blade covered
with shaving cream
recently scraped from a face,
a stubborn scrim of snow
hugs the ground in front
of a shiny, maroon car.
The rest of the lather washed
away in a morning shower.
