Poem leaves impression on my mind like footprint in the fresh snow in a quiet secluded place that can keep it for long time {as opposed to reaching 'the winter of my discontent'}. Anyways, seeing all this in a snow globe takes an active imagination filtered thru mature poetic awareness...ie finding the beauty in a thing even if it's peeing in the snow. Seeing naked the nature of our world and ourselves--our jobs as poets and humans for that matter. Nice one!
