climbs onto a motor, belt and two skids, the machine
comes to life, he is ready to go, but he can’t cause as yet
there is no sign of snow.

For the past 18 days he’s been wearing a suit, that is
covered in zippers from parka to boot, and mittens and
helmut, and toque on his head, ‘‘my god,’’ says, his
wife, “must you wear that to bed?”

. Then it finally happens, the ground has turned white,
he’s on his machine and he roars out of sight, on the flat
he’ll crouch down, on a corner he'll lean, and they tell
me this blood is now pure gasoline.

Over a hill, over a river, through marsh and round.
trees, over a rockpile and sandpit, yet down on his knee,
he looks like he’s praying as onward he flies, is it a
monster or man? All we see are his eyes,

He'll go charging ahead when it’s twenty below,
screaming into a blizzard of onrushing snow, by what
demon possessed is this new breed of man, who find joy
in a snowstorm like no human can...

But what happens in summer when snow is not there?
Is he out on the porch in an old rocking chair? No, he’s
inside the house for the whole world to see, sitting there

on his snowmobile watching TV.
