Ron Androla

springtime


side-yard is still

a sheet of ice

but as it melts

mounds of dog-

shit appear


dog-shit

& mud


it's a cloudy

day

in the 50's

light rain


when i bring

our dog inside

i towel off

his big black

muddy

dog-shit

paws



sitting in our cellar


groggy, stuff cigarettes.

pissed, answer wrong

number phone-

calls.  shaking cob-

webs, wonder

if my son bought

that '79 t-bird

he was supposed

to check out this

morning.  i came

home from work

from another

fucked up sunday

night

& after my shower

immediately

fell to sleep.

now i'm sitting

in our cellar

smoking self-

made cigarettes

as if there's

poetry here.
