Snow Globe
For PJ wherever you are
a two-lane in the sticks,
three locals in a field
dressed up like Santa, dancing
on a bright green tractor
who waved their beers
and hooted something
and a little joy
flaked down in a place
we sped through
What a wonderful image in a spare change of words. I see the John Deere tractor in that field with the revelers.

Agreed, @triciaknoll! Mark has such a powerful economy of language. We will be publishing two more from him in the coming months! Stay tuned . . .
