Monster Nor’easter
The first day of spring
a blinding white curtain
kidnapped the city.
It was a true blast of winter.
We solemn jurors braved
the monster nor’easter
and did our solemn duty
at forty dollars a day,
the price of a shovel.
Like heavily falling snow
white privilege shrouded
the streets — but here,
we joked ever so lightly,
it is “officially verboten.”
Good to see someone on AJ address this issue. Many implications for the American arts world and its plutocratic system of arts funding.
