The Day After

Snowflakes
Unique
interlaced, straight-laced, whatever laced individual ideas
Floating in a atmosphere of drifting winds and cold glares
Passing through the Northern Corridor
As nutmeg hot chocolate is passed around the small hall this eve
Downy feathery coats, thick knobby woolen scarves, and pairs of gloves dressing the chairs
Talk is fast and sporadic around the granite fireplace
