Poems from the
Inside
Seek
the light of day . . .
A Barking Dog
two people with a dog
a dog's toy
and a stick
"jump, boy, jump"
the dog jumps
the other kicks it
they switch
jump, boy, jump
the dog jumps
the other kicks it
this goes on
and on
the dog of course
gets confused
and howls
the dog growls
and jumps
and howls
the dog howls at nite
does he wake the neighbors?
do they know?
the cruelty of fools
they get a mate
they get their cameras
and the comic strip
in the paper
alien breeding farms
cameras at the ready
anticipation steady
but the dog won't mate
instead he howls
and growls
and tries to wake the neighbors
this cannot continue
someone
anyone
should call the U.N.
before the next s election
