birdsong
on the morning walk
dog barks

night barking
I should get up, investigate
but I'm tired,
and the bad dreams are queueing up
and I really don't want them
to mash together like cakes
on a stalled production line;
the one where I'm chased mashed in
with the one where I can't run very fast
and the one where I'm weighed down by possessions
combined with the need for a toilet.
I'll go back to sleep
and hope the dogs do the same.
