Scratches

4 Comments

Sometimes I look at the last scratch and think this is no way to end,

and then I scratch, and scratch, and scratch again.

Sometimes I look and think this is the perfect way to end,

and then I scratch, and scratch, and scratch again.

Sometimes I look and I do end,

only to find myself scratching again.

And then I look at them.

I look at them, and think is this really who I am?

And I say of course not, because it isn’t, even though it is.

    Speaking of which…
    Two small fleas
    Hitch a short ride
    The dog shakes his tail

    I scratch often too
    But usually just my head
    When I watch the news.
