I remember it was Monday night in early August.

Walls blocked the inch of breeze wading from the north.  A ceiling fan

whiffed on medium while the swiveling fan made it just cool enough

to tease our brains to sleep.

Drowsed in my room to share the draft, he didn’t seem to mind the blinds

open smidgens enough to let in crumbs of air and

hours of bedtime aura.

Two big cat cubs huddled under his elbow still smiling when his

sleepy-song broke the steady whirr of the cycling wind.

He needed a haircut – golden strawberry strands danced with every pass

of the machined wafts.  Cricket-grasshopper ankles sang off-key

while the melatonin evened out busy brainwaves.

Allergies snarfled through the night:  open windows and zealous cats.

In shark-infested dreams he is king of the sea – scepter rubber-

banded to his arm,

mer-life is content.

Good Luck, and thank you!
