The overhang of cabin No. 4
is like a tree's ego,
it needs to be stroked.
A child couldn't manage
this Motel,
it resembles a purse
stuck in a car door.
Open imperishably,
then run as if euphoric.
We are just over here.
2. ACTIVATING THE PET COMPANION
That is not an acquaintance waving,
merely a stranger in adjustment.
The hill to town
offers other opportunities,
however humanly impenitent.
There yet may be gratification
in this energy of hopefulness.
It walks beside you as
a purposefully presumptive cure.
