so big is spring
                                    (with a mr lenny)

so big is spring
like i see green
an’ geese
goin’ north ta breed

so big is spring
that no winter
ever
stopped its coming

          it’s so relieving
          it’s so damned
                    refreshing

so big is spring
an’ i ain’t cold
from snow
or north dakota wind

          “ya don’t have ta tell me
it’s april, mr . . . i kin see”
