Old Dog's Turn

Lego, our fifteen year old friend
















Old Dog's Turn

a stopwatch hand
the old dog moves
in a circle, claws clicking
turns again, again
we watch him spin

canine evolution or
trampling down invisible grass
on a wood floor

furry turntable
black and white wheel
breathing merry-go-round 

each revolution
one of his fifteen years
two seconds per rotation
paws ticking away
this time we all have left
