Charlie

I heard a dog trudging through my driveway this afternoon
I didn't see it, but I knew it was a dog and a pretty large one at that
I knew because I heard the distance and timing between each of his legs,
His hind legs more audible, with the jingling of a collar displaying his home and name
I guessed brass and steel but I'm probably wrong
I also guessed his name was Charlie, and he was a yellow lab, I imagined
Charlie didn't run though, or sniff around, he just walked right through
Like we lived in a railroad style apartment, on his way to wherever he was going
I wondered all day what he was up to and why he was doing it
I still am wondering where his end point was, or if he even had one at all
I hoped he didn't
And to be honest I'm a bit jealous
