triangular view of the end of the year


i         human eye

dog disembarks itself upon my horizon
black dog chasing the winter sun
obviously oblivious
and admirably so
to person rhyme or reason
no purpose informs the galloping limbs of this lolloping being
beyond its dogslobbering intent
to pursue absolutely nothing in particular
across the field of my view

flying across the winterwheat
with an enthusiasm
no number of harvested weetabix could supply

ii          dog eye

i'm a dog there's a rabbit no it's not i'm a dog now where's my tail i'm sure i saw it this morning i will run and look for it i'm so happy i'm a dog there's a tin of dogfood where nowhere only joking i'm so happy i like sleeping too and eating there's another dog no it's not it's just me i like running i could run for ever i wonder what's for dinner smells smells smells i like smells i like my nose i know i'll run after it and i'll catch my nose and once i've caught my nose i'll go and catch those smells i'm a dog yes i'm a dog am i chasing a rabbit i can't remember now how many legs have i got oh i can't count i'm going so fast i could do with a screw and some chocolate i wonder what's for dinner no i've wondered that already i'm a dog actually i think my tail is stuck to my bum i can't tell i'm going so fast i'm a dog

iii         owl eye

there's a dog in the field
there's a human in a window

there's a mouse on my mind
