For me this day,
yet another along the way.
This day seemingly much
the same as many days
of “this and that” to follow,
this day to succeed and precede,
the minutes and hours passing,
adding to that which has been.
This day, a countdown, if you will,
to that which is yet to be.
For my pup this day, an exercise
in familiarity and consistency—
barking at every sudden noise,
yapping a warning to animals
large and small she sees on TV.
Begging for treats with every
meal I eat, she poops and pees
with predictable regularity.
And as for me,
the score I am writing
to accompany plays
on its own uniquely
as I add lyrically to
whatever the melody
of this day
turns out to be.
