Howlong

Between the man and the dog

Over-done routine, the man reaches down to pick up the shit

I make eye contact with the dog

We both look away

I am back home now

I move my fingers on the piano keys

And I am back to thinking whether she's sobbing in the men's room again

I shall boil some beans

I should get my vitamin B

The last video I watched told me the pH of my gut microbiome was certainly causing my blues

So I fill myself up with fiber as dusk begins to set

The old man across the street

Thе clinical glow from your window

Why don’t you get a warm lamp?

It looks like a tiny UFO is trying to land in therе

His head begins to droop

And I make eye contact with his balding patch

Turn off the TV, old man

I light the candle

It's time to curtain the night

It is only 5 o'clock
