Not Doing Well

I feel the world
            not going well:
           When the puppy from below
             barks sadly
              lately...
            The neighbor cat
              remains meowing all day long
              in the kitchen...
            Here at home we eat
             3-day bread ... and coffee
             it is always reheated ...
             I feel that the world,
               not going well:
               When I don't capture anyone, anymore
               smiling in the square ...
              A rare car
                moves...
               Drowsiness brings down
                 The Neighborhood...
                I feel all badly going instable,
                when I observe the winery
              of Antonio empty ... he
                sitting with Maria dispirited
                 awaiting for customers in  the lobby ...
                Without selling anything,
                without collecting a
                  nickel ...!
