A Walk With My Dog
During a brief
pause in
eternity
I found my
mind uneasily
shifting into
the void of
meaninglessness:
And as I
pondered upon
the unused hours
emanating from
an ancient clock
in the toolshed
of lost time
I found that
there was
little time left
and decided to
take a walk
with my dog.
