Crazy

 

Of course it looked crazy

To those looking in

After the fact,

A couple of hundred

Adults gathered to

Race their snowmobiles

At crazy angles up a

Snow covered mountain,

Dozens caught in the

Ensuing avalanche,

Two killed,

Of course it’s crazy,

But how many things are not,

Who in their right mind

Would strap their family

Into a metal box with wheels

And glass windows,

Then speed down a narrow

Stretch of pavement into

The oncoming path of

Thousands of metal boxes

With wheels and glass windows,

Separated by thin white lines

Painted on the pavement.
