sol 10/31

I push at the door. It takes to nudges but eventually it gives way. I strap the leash on Dominos collar, she wags her tail as if the world depended on it. I pull the door shut and start to walk through my yard. I  walk up the street because I know that eventually that will lead us back around to our house.

I walk along and hear the pavement crunch under my feet with every step I take. I put my earbuds in and press shuffle on my iPod. Amy whine house Rehab. I close my eyes and listen to the music.

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said, 'No, no, no.'
Yes, I've been black but when I come back you'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go, go, go

By know we are almost done with our walk. I watch as Domino trys to catch to little robins on somebody's front lawn. I sigh and scratch her head as the birds carelessly fly away.

"You'll catch them eventually pup"

She looks at me as if to say

"maybe someday."
