Kids' archnemesis this morning

is the snowplow

They dress in winter gear

and armed with sticks and attitude

the two are ready for a face-off:

The snow is for everyone! 

Of all the lies I've lived

here's one I believed

the most

That I've been taken, claimed

and loved

But let me tell me -

until there's a ring on me

I am forever free

Now that's responsibility

 I found a reason

feminism had to happen

to this country

Without it we'd die out

Timid are the men here

When everything seems off

feels unfamiliar

Let it be, why not

 I clear the work space and wait...

First come distractions: 

thirst, chocolate nudges

dreams, plans

Here come the kids

then needs

Waiting...

Can't I just fall in love & call it a day?

what is the reason for this delay...
