As the day closes, and the night slides in. The big fish hunt in shallow water.
The old dog leaves home to die alone. Orphans cry for love and the arrogant choke on rotten meat.
The libraries become hostels and owls break the backs of tom-cats on the prowl. The ***** is gone and the cigarettes too.
And somewhere in this silly world, a father kisses his daughter good night.
