No monastic cell for solitary respite,
A dorm room, in vacant student housing…

No species other than mine own…
I smile and keep walking, released from my loud quiet into the evening.

Searching, now stunned, not a bird do I see, no lizard, no duck..
No one walking a dog?

Thru the institute of higher learning…where are all the teachers? We are all students.

Ah ha!

Here, by the church!
Both of us have come for dinner.
