Flies are biting my legs.
Swollen red bumps are
starting to itch.
I have to drive down the
road and park in the
golf course lot
because otherwise
I will keep getting
bitten and also
the dog with me
will not stop barking
because she can not
be with my son
while he rides.
(Stephanie is a Clydesdale)
So I sit and listen to
the Goldie Oldie station
while I read or write.
At some point
the dog has to go
to the bathroom.
Soon he texts
“I’m done”
