Impasse
An hour as an age,
a mile as a year; these walls,
constructs of my mind.

Up in the morning’s no for me,
Up in the morning early;
When a’ the hills are cover’d wi’ snaw,
I’m sure it’s winter fairly…

Cold mountain water
splashes log jams, freezing with
dribbling snowmelt

My name is dog
I write this toot
My favorite thing
Is boop my snoot
I boop it on your pretty face
I boop it in your no no place
I boop this and I boop that
And then one day I boop a cat
The cat say hiss
I think its neat
Then I learn cat
Has teeth on feet
I yelp and jump and bark and run
It turns out cat is not much fun
So now I know cat no like play
But maybe will later today
