i stare out a living room window
lights off
saving energy
forcing introspection that borders on depression
what has this life done with me
what have i done with this life
my answers are embarrassingly quiet
inconsequential
and as i travel inward
portaging over time
my black lab pushes her arse against me sideways
demanding attention
and i smile
at time
and at human mood
at myself
and at my dog
