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.
