After the Christmas Party

Anitfreeze or whisky
too much or too little you're in trouble

This is the scene that you would see
if the swirling snow would let you

A young man in an old Ford truck
heading West at three miles an hour

Driver's window open arm extended full length
Mittened hand holding twelve volt spotlight
beam groping the ridge along the graveled lane

Two feet from death on one side
ten on the other, and happy
