ten dollar bill in the window

i keep waiting for a kid
to knock
on my door
to ask me if i want
my sidewalk
cleared,
my car shoveled out?
but no.
kids don't do that anymore.
over the age of ten
they don't go
out into the snow
like they used to.
i tape a ten
dollar bill in
the window.
trying to tempt them, but
they walk
by and laugh.
i guess it's on me again,
shovel, scrapper, salt,
boots on,
here we go.
