the dog walker

i see the man
walking
his dog at the same time
every morning.
clockwork.
i know it's seven a.m. 
the coffee is on.
the day has begun.
he stops,
and walks.
he's gentle with the leash,
letting the dog
find
what he wants to find
before moving on.
one day
they'll both be gone,
but not yet.
there's still time for
all of us.
