Chester

 

Chester

 

 

Chester ran across the road,

or tried to.

He didn't quite make it.

Here comes running

the one who neither believed

in licenses nor leashes.

 

A truth as hard as the concrete

across which Chester is now spilled,

entering her mind,

as tears of remorse

are spilled also.

 

Then Chester stands,

once again whole,

without blood-soaked fur.

He gives himself a quick shake,

and runs on,

runs like the wind.

Nothing’s gonna stop him 

in his new world.
