In Praise of Snow Pants

Hard to put on
straps and zippers and cuffs
always a late need to go to the bathroom.
Undressed and dressed again.

But with snow pants
anything is possible:
scaling the peaks of the ice planet Hoth
and sliding back down again,
battling stormtroopers with ice bombs,
rising from a major strike undeterred.

Staying outside longer than jeans allow
and heading inside, still warm and dry,
ready to go out again later.
