Like phase-canceled snowmen disappearing in the sun. The ghost of a
snowman. Snowman ghosts return in the spring mists, and the sunset
hazes of fall.

Ghosts of foreign snowmen ride in clouds from the East. Ghosts of nitrogen
snowmen cast sun-dogs on the desert floor. Ghost snowman nimbus —
the holy ghost made of ice. The maiden of ice, riding a sleigh pulled by 36
harnessed snowmen. Straddling the nimbostratus. Allosaurus in the altostratus.
See, it's in the shape of a dinosaur!

The three snowmen pause in the door of the stable. Mary, Joseph & Jesus
look up. The three snowmen are visibly shrinking in the desert night. When
they leave, a glistening trail follows them back into the east. Riders the next
morning find a small pile of empty burnooses & robes soaking wet in the lee
of a dune. Songs are sung of the Three Snow Men for hundreds of years, but
they then are transformed into Christmas carols and forgotten forever.
