MCCRARY FOR TILLS THEM DOG DAZE

 

 

98

When in doubt

Someday

One after another

Too much

Way too much

Nothing could be

 

 

99

Except this

Which doesn’t even

Resemble what is

Left.

Another day

No use

Either

 

 

100

Counting again

It is habit and

Way to popular

Takes up way

Too much time

Which is just

Another way of saying:

Jeez

One could walk away

But for all that work.

 

101

Getting here

Not quite but

Heading towards

Either horizon

Night or day

Well at least it is

Something

To celebrate

And they do

Three, four, five, six, seven

Times a day

 

 

102

Almost again but not

Something familiar

Wrapped up in it

The quiet sudden all day

Where do they go

Water is disappearing

Faster than light

Which seems to be

Increasing no matter the

Time of day

103

Whoa!

 

104

Not really necessary

Other that if one has to

Yet why evan bother

To notice

It really doesn’t make a difference

Sun sets

Heat settles.
