The dog pees in big puddles
in the hall, down from our room
as if to punctuate, to add
but I don't want to complain
and drain the precious, you know,
dog pee is just, just to get me
sitting in the vet's waiting room
where I read Bark Magazine
as if The New Yorker
would be called Speech Magazine
Ha! Ha! Bark! Bark!
And it seems the domestic dog originated
in the Middle East, not Asia
but the real bark of the study was that
Williams Syndrome, which brings the curse of
Extreme Friendliness Disorder
is traceable, can be seen in dog genes
Bark Magazine does not deal, I think, in irony
in sadness
Domestication a syndrome
Civilization a disorder
Friendliness...oh God no...
my tail is wagging!
