snowy night
 
  First voice: woman's voice, smooth and gentle

The snow came silent in the night
Bringing the Boro of Baldwin limping to a muffled halt.

Second voice, man's voice, rough, authoritative:

Jasper McLeavy,
(the Socialist mayor of Bridgeport, Connecticut)
would have said:
GOD put it there
Let GOD take it away

An ice-olated man of faith
He usually walked to off-ice.

First voice again

Time, temperature, and the Baldwin salt crew
Have done their work.
The streets are clear.
The Freeze Frame endeth.
