Hello, my friends! The Six-Second Poetry series returns this week with a well-timed video. Considering that Chicago (where us editors are based) has only just had a record-breaking snowfall (19.3 inches, people. NINETEEN POINT THREE INCHES.), it only seemed appropriate that this week's video feature one of my favorite winter quotes from e.e. cummings:
the snow doesn't give a soft white damn Whom it touches.
Which just about sums it up: snow is this beautiful, ethereal, floating stuff---and it also doesn't give two shits if it happens to fall at such a rate that your rush-hour commute takes 2 1/2 hours. (No really, my commute was 2 1/2 hours BOTH ways on Tuesday.)
In short, there is a reason we were all enamored of it while we were children: because we also didn't give a soft white damn, before we became something resembling adults and forgot what a miracle it seems to live in a world where, for four months, little pieces of frost spontaneously float down from the sky to land amid your hair, on your tongue, and in a halo around your face.
You can follow us on Vine by clicking the green little "V" in our social media bar at the top of the page. If you don't have a Vine, but want to see all our videos, just click the "Six-Second Poetry" tag on the right or find the series under our "Video" category.
As always, it's been a pleasure. Stay tuned for the next installment of Floodmark's Six-Second Poetry Series!
A quick note on some credit info: the music for this video is a short clip from a piece called "Etude 2 for Piano" by Philip Glass. It's played by Bruce Brubaker. The GIF in the background is found on Tumblr.com---as far as I can tell, there are multiple sources.
