i take snow off the roof

i take snow off the roof
rake it off

there's a place where
ice can build up 

when i go take snow 
off the garage 

my neighbor says
there's no need

i reply see how 
the roof sags

even without snow
it sags 

my neighbor says
they made the garage cheap

just like everything
back in those days

and so i nod and agree
but take snow off the garage

because it would be strange
to quit over what he thinks
