Two Dogs
Down the street a dog barks
The same as the dog barking nearer to me
But I heard the other first
One is fenced in by a tall gate
The other approaches in the seat of a white car
They hear each other for a moment before moving on
And I envision a conversation between the two
But there is no significance
One heard the other and grew agitated
The other was hungry
I wanted one to say to a brother of his
That he was not yet at peace
That he was sleeping in the home of an animal unlike himself
