A rooster's lament




The neighbourhood rooster crowed at sunset again. This rooster crows at any damn time it pleases, and perhaps there’s wisdom in that. Perhaps it crows to signify the change in light. Perhaps it hates street lights. Perhaps it wants more time to play. Perhaps it’s a disguised lament for a beautiful brown hen it once knew. Or perhaps it crows at exactly the moment it should, without much thought about the past or future.
