we walk through oceans of ice
scattered and scarred with dead cats and car parts
mountains of tire marks
piles of cold and debris higher than the knees
thighs sky high
we walk through oceans of ice
blacktop the backdrop
the scene so bleak with winter disease
green screen of dead leaves and brown trees
add in the extras of pre-teens and druggies
props of cellphones and 40’s
we walk through oceans of ice
waiting to finally freeze
