January's Sign...
I heard it on the radio as the tiny snow flakes fell,
Just as she was singing "Kiss Me," the D.J. broke the news,
Something I can only wish I saw...
The tiny lake effect flakes were dancing,
Road humming under my tires about going home,
Sun was shining behind me East through the thinning clouds...
Cold and clearing,
Salt spray painting my windshield like fog,
I was just about to sing along with the chorus...
"I wish we hadn't missed it,"
She said in her best smooth radio voice,
"...I hear they're very, very rare..."
"The beautiful snow rainbow everyone's been calling about."
Some people complain about January in Chicago,
I just wish I hadn't missed it.
January's sign...
