Park Dogs

It's 6:05 and she's already left
The alarm still rings at the end of our bed

But I won't go back to sleep
There's a park at the end of our street

I bring a ball that I throw to the sky
And repeat that step until I get tired
The ring is a little bent forward

I try to bargain with gravity
But she was never that kind to me

Me and my morning
All the park dogs are talking
Not coming back when we call them
Like we thought they ever would

Owners and four legged friends in command
Round the part of the park they don't want you to stand
Where the rain turned the grass into mud

A young German shepherd knocks one to the floor
He's yet to learn he's bigger than them all
He only wanted to play

He fumbles in disparity
Searching for some company

Me and my morning
All the park dogs are talking
Not coming back when we call them
Like we thought they ever would

From the other side of my vision line runs an unwavering love
Some howling thing, the safety pin holding them up

Me and my morning
All the park dogs are talking
Not coming back when we call them
Like we thought they ever would
Me and my morning
All the pre-coffee yawning
Starting the day with a walk and some cold October air
