Morning Snow

The trees melted on me 
On my way to class

This morning.
God woke me up at 7:12 AM,

He NEVER wakes me up at 7:12—
And never before
To the sight of clean snow.

I always like to think
Though it’s a shallow hope--
A hope remains

That I may be the first one to see it,
To know when the world wakes up,
They’re waking up to white.

I bet He doesn’t know my lucky number is 12
And my favorite one is 7.
