huge chunks of hard frozen driveway ice
heaved high up over snowy banks
sectional couches moved
for a spring clean sweep
rocks pulled up from the ground
then rolled away
the novices call it "old man strength"
funny mix of awe and mockery
monk strength my friends
monk strength
Monk strength indeed. And those young novices will soon feel the weight of the snow shovel, I imagine. Smiles.
