SEARCHING THE AVENUE

 

 

A mouse scurrying thru

clothes on the floor

frantically searching the avenue

for a beer

 

It gets so strange at night

Nocturnal prospects

lead us on a wild goose chase

 

Heading for the dawn

we count stars

   and hopscotch between

                           moonbeams

 

endless hours

          of eternity

 

             in a single night

 

It will not go on forever

It must cease soon

 

All correspondence

is discontinued

 

a tough act

to follow

I’d rather not

even try

 

but of course

I will

 

That’s just my nature

 

and sometimes

I pay for it
