Dog at the door

"Huh? Who’s there?"
Dog at the front door barking at the air
Wind all “whooooosh” in the trees
Then "chk chk chk chk", feet on leaves
Uhhhhhh? It’s probly a cat
Might be a guy with an axe
Might be a trap, shit it’s probly a trap
Might be a possum in the trash
It’s probly a trap
“Hey, keep it moving!” God, I sound stupid
Good chance I’m not even talking to a human
Then again it’s probly a trap, somebody had to set it
Depending on the type maybe several
Yeah, that’s it, it’s probly several, several come together
To make what would’ve taken one forever
I’m thinking it’s a pretty damn sophisticated trap
Utilizing some technology I didn’t know we had
Hmmm, maybe I am entirely tripping
It might’ve been the neighbor’s kid but I have my suspicions
I wish it were as simple as a critter but it isn’t
I feel that it’s important we consider all dimensions
Like, oh, I don’t know, maybe it’s a trap?
I step onto to the lawn, you’ll jump out with the bag
I wake up in some alley on a wholly other plane
Can’t remember who I am or how to get back to the base
I realize you people think that I am off the deep end
I’ll say that it’s a lovely night regardless of the BS
It is, a perfect snow is freckling the path
It’s almost like the atmosphere is begging for a trap
The mutt goes quiet, one last sniff, lopes inside
Fine, it might’ve been a baby squirrel who tumbled from the nest
It’s probly just you motherfuckers missed
