ends

"oh well, your spectacles can use some cotton
lest you like your vision with clouds"
were the last lines that were spoken
before there were creaks in the dead silence of the night.

"oh the neighbours!"
"oh they are at it too..."

and then after a few dizzyingly impossible almost dreams
then there were difficult faces
that changed shape with the blinding light.

"oh did you see it?"
"oh yes, did you too?"

if only it was another certain morning
it would have been epic
but there were cats to be fed and monsters
to be shown their way out
oh what beginnings, oh what ends!
