a scratch at the fence
a muffled woof
footsteps following me now
a crow flies above
squawking
splashing through puddles
with my military boots
very relaxing it is
rain tapping on umbrella
a dripping pine tree
sap and water
snake slithers past me
on a cracked sidewalk
that reminds me of
New Orleans
night is falling fast
hard and cold and dark
the stars do
their nightly show
two drink minimum
