            Is he mad now?

            We've seen him talking

            To his one remaining dog;

            Then watching to see 

            If she misses Ginger

            As much as he;

            Which anyone should know,

 

            And abandoning his books

            For tablets without print

            Or sense then scribbling

            In them.  The rain

            Is falling again

            So he makes tears

            Of it and listens

 

            Intently with pen poised

            As though there were

            Someone out there

            For him in the darkness

With dank wet fur

Ready to lead him away

Whenever he would choose.
