One Invalid Street

Does it hurt?
No, it does not hurt right now.
Are you bored?
Not in an unpleasant way.

Do you hope?
Only idle fantasies.
Do you fret?
More like regret in advance.

How is that?
I should be doing something.
Such as what?
Such as some accomplishment.

Does this count?
The cats have sprawled in the sun.
Do they count?
Come back in a hundred years.

To do what?
To find this sequence of words.
About what?
One invalid afternoon.
