After the Ice Storm

No electricity for a week and boarding a plane
Took a shower at a friends, packed what was clean
Felt like walking out of a cave
into civilization charade
How we must sound to the homeless
talking of Olympics, talking business
carrying money, carrying a ticket
destination on the pavement
look purposeful, look like couldn't stop to understand.
