Multi-

automatic
dog
barking
pissing with a cocked leg

eyes darting and searching for The cat
black temptress
down on the earth
up in the branches hissing

'come catch me you mug'

the play the scene
as wind tickles & birds flutter
I sit
reading a book

word after word
a sentence
indicated by thoughtful punctuation
I suppose

the words written by an ascending human being
'something to say'
casting light and shadows
this way and that way

I am busy doing something
almost like working for the yankee dollar
but different
though,

I have an urge to help my dog which is stronger than my desire for reading
gun in hand
cat in the tree so I aim shoot and kill
my dog spins with delight

he's over under the tall Scots Pine
ripping spinning coughing playing
as happy as the hedge sparrows are now
knowing a killer is gone

back in doors
sitting
reading sentences written
offered by an ascending human being
