Do you miss things,

the rewards of work
warmer days come fall,
understanding
anything?

Do you fear the future,
those tiny dogs
yapping at your fence
do they hold you
from salvation?

Check your calendar
take some time off
visit a thrift store.
browse through rows
of discarded hope.

Share some goodwill
make a purchase
meet someone
take her home
make love.

Imagine she is
similar to
salvation,
it's never really
been so hard.
