Hello Wolf

Today is not a day for arguments,
the sun is too pleased with how it shows you
your shadow at four o clock, two o clock, siamese.

Outside is an outro, xylophones and triangles
birds wiring wings
grasses splitting for fathers chasing sons towards rivers.

The couples sitting on benches with ankle hooks,
do not flinch when an Alsation approaches,
they say 'hello wolf'.

Your excellent face does expressions
cos everyday you find it a miracle
that you are alright in this city of old houses.
