My Rocky Mountain running son,
in light of my purchase of traction
cleats for jogging in the snow,
wrote
that if I want to have fun,
to go slow
and pick up my foot
so as not to stumble over
any rock or root.
Wordsworth wrote that
the child is father to the man
and I’m just glad my
kid (now my metaphorical father)
came up with a winter jogging
safety plan.
