Like those who climbed Everest
happy, on the mountain
standing on the snow bank
looking at the others
The three of them victories
happy fifth graders
falling down to greet the bus
laughing at their antics
“I fell on my rump roast”,
one shouted, and repeated
Laughing easily,
in snow pants for this reason
