the dogs are barking

the dogs
are barking, someone's
in the yard
tip toeing
across the ground.
a stranger looking for food,
or money,
or
who just wants to peek
inside the window
to have a look
around.
it's not an easy life
being a stranger.
going around like this
at night,
with no where to really
go. I've been that stranger
too,
wondering what others
are up to.
