CIRCUIT
In the evening
hours after they’ve
finished dinner
as porch lights
blink on
they sometimes let
me out
to perambulate
along the gravel paths
avoiding
when possible avoided
always
by neighbors
who keep themselves
in their houses
listen for the
crunch
and occasional
squeak
glad they can
stay indoors in front
of their TVs
lights on
windows blanked
while I progress
ungainly
unhappily threatening
making
my solitary
rounds.
