The streets are filled with holes.
The more the snow falls, and melts the more the holes appear.
Were they there to begin with, only hiding? Or are these new craters, the products of a cold wet snowy salt-strewn wintry road?
The ruts and ditches can be dangerous as drivers swerve to avoid them at all costs, protect the life of their tires.
The roads are falling apart.
Come spring, they will be patched over with tar, a quick fix. Can we not afford a better solution? When next winter they will rot again.
Cover it up and cover it up and cover it up- until the holes become so big that swerving is an impossibility.
The ditches will be the norm, and the streets will be no more.
