about looking forward

under this grey suburban sky
the hardest or the most beautiful thing of the day
it is always around the corner
but you must look forward to notice

yes sure even backwards around and low and smell the ground
but if you do not look forward that one thing
ugly or beautiful you will not see
and then you make a mistake and pay the consequences
you do not notice anything until it’s too late

that’s why we trust each other
since beside hunting,
we remind each other that we are prey too

we two, master and dog
cannot tell which of the two has learned or taught the most
fact is that we have grown
overall we feel safer
as we put one foot or paw in front of the other
and forward we go

after all
life is just a bite or a wagging tail away
