A Hound Dog Case of the Flu
My wife’s amazed
when I station myself
at the computer
writing this or that
despite a hound dog
case of the flu.
So I tell her something
she’s probably known
about me for years.
I write for the same reason
a mutt barks endlessly
in the city pound--
It’s something worth doing
for as long as possible
until we’re swept away.
