When Called at 5 a.m.

snow day number two:
 sunny skies and ice-less roads
 (district of regret)
 
 grocery shopping done
 house cleaned, even the bedding
 (relaxing my way)
 
 kids gone stir-crazy
 fights and chasing cats outdoors
 (trapped under boredom)
 
 why did they cancel?
 to give us all breathing room
 snow-free sun and all
