It snowed today! Huge light flakes, bigger than I have ever seen. It was such a beautiful walk home from school. The world is absolutely fascinating when fresh snow is falling and everything is white. White really is the color of innocence. But... It can bring out another side that is fascinating in its own right.
Every neighbor hood in this college community had its own snow man. Like monuments to a great kingdom, it didn't fail, every street corner was marked by a snow man. One had ears and it looked just like the rabbit from Donnie Darko. Another one had roman candles for arms and sparks for fingers. The best was a ten foot abominable snow man with a torch coming out of his head. And then we come to my street. My friends. They made a seven foot tall penis and balls, with branches for pubic hair. That makes me laugh.
My brother was the redeeming factor in our one day snow gang. Being the artist that he is, he carved a 4 foot snow skull which comes from months of drawing the human body. We put candles in the eyes and candles in the mouth to make it look even more spectacular.
