read a good poem: the white

These are the moments

before snow, whole weeks before.

The rehearsals of milky November,

cloud constructions

when a warm day

lowers a drift of light

through the leafless angles

of the trees lining the streets.

Green is gone,

gold is gone.

The blue sky is

the clairvoyance of snow.

There is night

and a moon

but these facts

force the hand of the season:

from that black sky

the real and cold white

will begin to emerge.

--Patricia Hampl via the writer's almanac

marathon weekend 2011: we're all winners!

...or, um, "finishers."

marathon sponsor, ING, has a fun promotion around town: they stage a "finish line" scene for subway riders, complete with an orange balloon archway, finish line tape, cheerleaders and cowbells. it's alarming at first --you're trudging up the steps and you're all of a sudden assaulted with color and hoopla-- the "crowd" cheers with gusto. crazy gusto. it's hard to resist, but i was pleasantly surprised by how many really embraced the whole set-up, running through with a victory pose... it's really fun and funny.

(i hope it happens to you...)

here's what the columbus circle scene looked like yesterday afternoon:
