Signifying nothing

I saw a lost dog this morning Cantering uneasily, its head Looking back and forward Trying to scan where it had Been towards where it was Going, not recognizing either Way I was walking too but knew  Where I was going: down the  Block from my house for  Exercise and back again; Down to the far corner Where three roads meet at Odd angles. There were no Cars on the roads,  and the Dog stuck to the sidewalk Still, I worried about him and Turned to watch him jog Down the block, and turned to Follow But the dog was faster than me, and I wasn't about to break Into a jog myself. I don't need That kind of exercise hammering My old knees and then he took A corner turn at the big maple, Gone from my view so I turned Around and continued on to Home.

I've told you about Paul My friend who died  Running across the  Street He was in the right By the way, the bus Had clearly stopped Flashing Lights, a clear warning The car sped through Though, killing Paul, Throwing him into the  Bus Masked, looking forward To a day full of fun and  Candy,  he crossed mask Down And then Paul Was dead just like  That The bus driver was Dean

 When I was six I couldn't tie my  Shoes No one had taught Me  See But Paul showed me How just loop this one Over that one and then Loop Paul was killed on Halloween Struck by a Neglectful  Driver Dead at six Wearing a  Mask

Imagine being a boy But not quite a boy That transition stage Of adolensence when You are not man but not Boy Imagine being a man But not quite a man That transition stage Of adolensence when You are not boy but not Man My brother, my sweet Sweet brother once said I don't see a man, when I was that moment Between It sticks with you, those Words

I've been thinking about this for a few Hours My sternum turned to bone All of a sudden I knew a cat With a similar Condition Sternum protruding From his furry  Chest The vet said  It was noting to Worry About But I worried And I am Worried

 This is let me take a minute let me take a break This is how we or do we take a break or can we  Are you sure we can or this is how we do or are  Are are are are are you are you are you are you Over Take a break
