let's

let's make sure the car still starts

let's drive to Livingston Manor 

let's see if there are any good places to walk there

let's notice when the snow starts to sputter – from nowhere into air

let's laugh at the absurdly low clearance height for the covered bridge

let's try the radio and smile when it's a fuzzy neil young song

let's decide not to order pizza – because it will just get cold. 

let's keep driving through the woods with the snow blowing and n.y. croon-whining beautifully

let's wonder what would happen if another car came along on this one lane road 

let's flip our headlights on and hope that will help somehow 

let's subtly swerve the car as we all look out to left and see the white-tipped hills and indented valleys

let's count the number of fallen trees we see and wonder what will happen to them

let's think about dense forests – like the Amazon. not Jeff's kind. 

let's guess we should head home before the snow comes down harder and leaves us fishtailing and sliding.
