in a house on a street
with alleys and leaves
a tray of cookies cool
at the dining table
and the cat licks my toes
as i watch the TV
and i wave to my neighbour
as she trims her hedge
the sun is static
like a paused video
and then i hear it
on the drive
the wheels of your car
and you opening the door
with alleys and leaves
a tray of cookies cool
at the dining table
and the cat licks my toes
as i watch the TV
and i wave to my neighbour
as she trims her hedge
the sun is static
like a paused video
and then i hear it
on the drive
the wheels of your car
and you opening the door
"We believe that we invent symbols. The truth is that they invent us; we are their creatures, shaped by their hard, defining edges." - Gene Wolfe
