snow plow prayers

blade crunches curb
snow plow rumbles past
shakes a tired monk awake
       rises from sleeping mat
prays

  1. The tired monk must be getting pretty tired of snow right about now!

  2. Brother Ollie,

    Except for the close connection with the curb, I think that the tired monk would still in a prayerful slumber.
    It is a tough calling in this snow filled season.

  4. An answer to a previous prayer? "May the plow come before I have to work..."
