They jumped the puddle, and crossed at the green. Enough to keep it clean. The wind smelt like snow and vice versa. Only three of them noticed it. Only two of them knew why. Only one of them wanted to change it. It wasn't a good day for a gazillion steps. But men and women have to do what men and women have to do. Time was plenty, unlike luck.

And no power...
And no strength...
But, where there's a will...there's a way...
