PAWS FOR THOUGHT
The world appears to be on a slant
Parallel lines don’t meet
Distant horizons
Reflections of sunlight
Should I jump into the light?
Where is everybody else?
I’ve missed the boat
I’m scared of water
I’m a long way from home
Do I have to go that way?
When is he coming back?
Can I hear voices?
Stick? Stick? Where is there a Stick?
Why me?
I think I’ll have fish for tea

DOG-DAY AFTERNOON
Lines meeting at infinity
Wet sunshine
Looking for the movement
What’s on the other side?
I want to jump but I’m scared
Who’s that looking at me?
Stop staring at my back and jump if you want
I have a platform and a captive audience
There’s no way out of here
Serene Lonely
Solitude Reflection Longing
What am I waiting for? Waiting for?
Searching the depths
Now that’s deep
Is the end in sight?
Please come back
How long is eternity?
