I Call My Howlers

When the sun has left
And you are a failure
And all is lost

I parade around 
Hoping you will look up
Trying to change you from your sad self 
to your most fabulous philosophy

If you are determined to study your feet
I am at a loss to help
Luna does not howl you see

Yet wait.
I could call my howlers.
They are coming now. I hear their yips

Uh-oh.
Too much.
Too frightened, you run away.

Never seeing what I could have done.
So I keep my optimism and hope 
A bit longer

Waiting for the right victim.
