He and his lady
stare up at the tree
what is that?

They stand
on the sidewalk
alongside the delivery truck
as men unload
sodas and water
in 5 gallon jugs

What is that
says the “Silver Ghost”
with blue starlit eyes

I look too
but I see nothing
I was expecting a bird
or a squirrel

Both he and his lady
are transfixed,
oblivious
to all movement around them

What is that
I wanted to know

Note: “Silver Ghost” is one of the names for the Weimaraner.
