Then suddenly the one starts running

               Across the open snow.

               Crossing unseen sidewalk

               Far beyond the work-fire's glow.

 

               Returning in the darkness

               Snowsuit hung again on hook of fact,

               Yet avoided like the naked ones

               Who never made it back.

 

               And from the morning thimblers,

               A shout of joy is heard,

               "We can see a bit of sidewalk

               Together now, forward!"

 

               "The wind has blown it exposed

               In footstep shape," they cry.

               "Hey, someone spat on my sidewalk Patch,

               I’ll see the bastard fry."

----------------------------------------------------------

               Listen to the traveler

               Even tho' the facts be old.

               For there may be another way

               And that way may be cold.
