Dogs clutch cards close to their torsos, swig beer as the clock ticks, edging closer to one. The counters stack up in towers between swirls of pipe smoke on a green felt table. The pug grimaces at the terrier, the collie crosses his legs, leans back. Time remains fixed on twelve fifty-nine momentarily. The beagle counts studs on each thick collar, rests his paws on the edge of the table, looks up at the Monet on the wall, remembering a trip to the Musee D’Orsay in Paris and a walk along the Seine. They wait.
