Dog boxes

The dog boxes

are empty

side-by-sides’

getting last-minute touchups

fuck -your-cousin

big four by fours

are more obvious than usual

The deer are still

in the woods

but it’s getting cool

and overcast

it won’t be long

The bald headed

lawyer still wants

to defend me

against crimes

real and imagined

The Suwanee River

glides by in

it’s twisting spring fed way

the purity of the water

not reflected on the shore

There is mud

in the truck bed

and rain

in the streets
