Good Night

See how

time moves,

slinking along

like some aging cat,

shoulders hunched

against the moon,

a silhouette of fur

and philosophy?

My dog barks at it,

wants to rip

its throat out.

“Settle down now, dingo.

We’ve all got

our job to do.

That’s a girl.

Go lie down.

It’s almost

time for bed.”
