My screen door creaks open - seventeen below A sound effect from a Vincent Price show Footsteps crunch loudly in new-fallen snow Car engine turns over, barely working, so slow
My car is now warming; I clean windshield and mirror A faint warbling birdsong finds way to my ear A cardinal proclaiming "what-what-what-what cheer!" Something's not right, why he calls is unclear I listen and wonder, I stand very still Is it a warning instead "Wind-wind-wind-wind chill?" The clarion call from the red bird's red bill Is it intuition or sheer power of will? =20 Mark Alt Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Project Resources Group Best Buy Co., Inc.
