The Ice resurfacing machine - a short poem

The Ice resurfacer

the ice resurfacer, wonderfully empty

a humming artist who always paints glossy

(and opens up for play)




a hedgehog without spines


who knows one Big thing while

the foxes the hockey players

know many small things

- Ice resurfacer translates into the swedish word "ismaskin" which also means Ice machine /Ice maker.
