and then the thought passes

i wake up,
and think, i should get a dog.
i have more free time
now.
a new dog.
what fun
would that be?
i can use the old leash
still hanging
on the door,
i could wash out
the old bowls,
the sweaters
that the other dog
once wore.
i could
treat him better than
the last one.
more treats, more toys,
more walks,
more bones.
no longer would i be
taking walks
or sleeping
alone. i'd be home
every night
to be with him,
not waiting sadly
in the window.
and then the thought passes.
