passion at the house of moaning rooms
for a hundred dollars an hour, or more
if the glass eyed girls were surprised

about how long it took me to come around
to their way of getting it over with easy

love at the dog pound..that unconditional kind
for a hundred and thirty five, including shots
and a collar and twenty two pounds of wet devotion

that worshiped my lap more than I did god
and thought the old chevy truck was heaven

freedom was on highway 101 going southbound
those afternoons with new tires and dreams
unfolding like cardboard flags ahead of me

and like final curtains closing up behind
with my arm out the side window right then

turning more right then the left, that was available

I hear you talking, DS.I've had dogs all my life. Devotion + is their claim to fame, plus the sloppy kisses and lap-sitting in the vehicle.

"dreams unfolding like cardboard flags ahead of me and like final curtains closing up behind" - yes, dreams are like that and you've got dogs pretty well pegged too.  Enjoyed your ride, Mr. Dark.

Love the old chevy truck and the highway and the turning, but very especially love the gorgeous, precious twenty-two pound dogalog (and your political fighting for dogs)!
