I met an old man who would strike up a pose with a burgundy ferret he called Arbor Rose he smiled as I focused and yelled to him cheese said "a mind functions best when it’s 40 degrees" He wore a black cap and carried a cane and the locals would muse that he lost half his brain I watched as he passed by the Warfield Hill grave as he swatted a fly and gave me a wave He opened the gate and fastened a lock and pulled from his pocket a grandfather clock he reached for the sky and parted a seam and the ferret spoke out, said "it’s only a dream"
