Fox

I saw a fox by the roadside
perhaps looking to cross.
He was standing in the grain
with one of those looks on his face
like I know I get on Sunday morning,
when work looms,
and nothing productive is on tap.
Here are some suggestions for him:
1) Build a new room in the den.
2) Bring home a mole for the kits.
3) Run faster, harder and longer,
you'll find a settling of the body.
4) Let it all be,
stop trying so hard to be in control.

That was a strange look he had, though,
so much more human than animal.
He must have had rabies.
