Consider an arc crossing the cosmos
nine billion light years away
a bit of order making the chaos<\/p>\n\n\n\n
spookier Consider a small boy
flying through a park chasing two
huskies one with gray eyes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

simply running and waving a strap
while his dogs scamper away<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and don\u2019t even stop to sniff
my own tame hound Who gives
a child such a task For a while<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I follow at a distance then
cut the angle toward pines
and brush–home to rabbits
that might draw the truants<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The gathering dark of course
swallows the trio leaves me
another sad adult lagging behind
