BlackJack

Like a statue he peers out. He’s watching the people as they pass. Calm, as they hurry by he’s watching. Judging, disapproving at their haste. “Why do they rush?” he asks, ears twitching. Watching through the glass he is aloof. A yawn passes over his face. Maybe a nap will pass some of the day. He sits and ponders and yawns again. Still watching the people run. Then suddenly he’s had enough. And with one look at me he saunters away.
