silent frenzies

to bring you that one cloud in this cup of water

I feel like going to the park to hike the 2 mile trail and maybe talk to the horses for a little while (not in a deranged way) and watch the sunset and listen to some music, but I can’t stop feeling I’ll see a snake today.  It would be nice if my dog would for once in her life not go crazy at the horses so I can bring her along so I won’t suddenly find myself enveloped in thick air when I’m standing there alone staring at the dropping sun with my arms hanging more and more heavily on either side of me.  But she’s an ahole who won’t shut it, so I can’t bring her.  And I’ll have to make do with what I’ve got and bark at the snake all by myself when we cross paths.  Hopefully my terrifying bark will send the creepy little bastard slithering hastily away.
