Comfort dogs

I do not know who came up with the idea of comfort dogs. It's brilliant. Comfort dogs would be a good idea all over the world.

They are sending

Comfort dogs

To Orlando

From all over

The country

They wag their tails

They are happy

To be there

Maybe for a scritch

Behind the ears

A lick in return.

I have two comfort cats

They mostly

Curl up on the bed

Still

Ours is an established

Relationship.

Eight floors up

Orlando is not Cambridge.  Eight floors up here with a view of another hotel is not like thirteen flights with an immediate elevator and a view of the Charles mid-morning.  Still... some say exercise can be a good thing. Some say.

Eight floors up

We thought to get a view

No

Not like Cambridge at all

No Charles River with rowers

The sun already half-skied

Rowers.

Eight floors up

We thought:

A view

No

We are directly across from a hotel

Just like ours

Eight floors up.

I met the cement stairwell

Last night

Eight flights of it

The lines to the elevator

So long

I climbed instead

Exercise is sometimes good.

Sometimes.

Eight flights up.
