Exhaust blackened dirty snow
Bleak City cold winter sting
Cars in ditches
Tire chains and rock salt
Doughnut shop at four am
Factory whistle blows at five
Hot coffee on the dashboard

Western prairie quiet broken by forged steel
Sage Grouse dance, feathers of resplendent golden lace

A jar that sits on the table full of baseball dreams
Inside will be found there pennants and things
