it's all talk

i had been sitting in my room, listening to some satie and holding yaron's beta fish, in its crystal bowl, up to my nose, watching its rippled blue figure flutter towards my finger as i traced lines on the glass. this house is basically empty, save a few friends whose flights depart tomorrow morning. my back was to both of my windows.
suddenly, my phone rings, and rachel, a fellow californian, yells, "look outside! its your first snow!"
i trip down the steps, pull open the looming front door, and see what looks like tissue falling from the sky. white tissue eyelash sparkling.
now, an hour and a half has passed, and the world is white. i finally know what snow smells like. i now know the texture of fresh snow in my bare palm. i have thrown 6 snowballs at windows, seen the drastic black cuts of tire tracks made in the road, seen the weight of the flakes on pine branches, and watched the gutters right outside my window slowly fill up.
my footprints dapple the roof of this house. the news predict another 5 inches tonight. tomorrow morning, my footprints will be gone.
i guess ill just have to make some more, then.
