Twos

Today, on 2/2/22

The snow is melting fast.

The river’s rushing southward

As some police boats hurry past.

 

My bench is dry; I’m sitting

In a little patch of sun,

A respite I’ll enjoy until

The cold’s once more begun.

 

A date with all those 2’s occurs

Just once, but some will see

A matching one with 3’s, but oh,

How ancient I will be!
