Four in the morning in January, Route 159 empty and blue under the sodium lights, and One N Only Lawn cutting & Snow Removal is already out in it. Plows go down on Belleville driveways and lots while the storm is still finishing, walks get shoveled and salted, so the buses and the first shift find pavement instead of a problem. By April the same machines trade the blade for a mower deck: cutting, trimming, edging and clearing clippings through the long green middle of the year. Both halves of the calendar come down to one idea, which is to get there early and leave it open. The town wakes up either way; the difference is what it wakes up to.
