THE PROFESSOR OF REGRET
By Howie Good


It’s more of an effort
than it should be

for you to go
from one room

to the next.
A dog wearing

a strangely
human expression

follows you out.
At some point

a person notices
the sound of crying

disturbing the leaves
and the light

on the crumbling
ledges of clouds

or doesn’t.
