"Point"

early july morning at the cabin
it is already hot 105 later today
some say a dangerous temperature
we have filled the watering stations
around the cabin in the woods
the biggest one is near gypsys fence
a cottontail has its front feet
over the edge of the tub
and is getting a drink
gypsy sees it and hits a point
for the next few minutes
it was explained to gypsy
why you don't chase a rabbit
that is drinking water
in the midst of one of the longest
hottest droughts in texas history
gypsy tried to understand but
a rabbit is a rabbit
it was too close to her fence
it was showing off
it was asking for it
it winked at her
as soon as it was finished
gypsy broke her point
get the point
of a point
