State by State, Eliza/Senoufou,
each region includes in their budget
provisions for a veritable army of staff
-- Department of Public Works, or DPW --
to clear the roads and highways, not to speak of sidewalks in public places.

It is quite wonderful to watch all those trucks with salt and sand,
and the snowplows, sweeping down on of the big roads
like the Providence Highway that follows the seacoast
through Boston down to Rhode Island.
I always want to cheer for those workers.
They do a yeoman's job.
