By Vern Fein

You can’t slip and fall on sunshine
which reveals my prejudice
against Old Man Winter
who I would trip when
he wasn’t looking
cause him to fall
and break his ankle
like my boss did
on that black ice 
at the airport
which he couldn’t see 
because of the sun glare.
Oh shoot.
You have to be careful
every season.
