grateful dog


that side of the atlantics i have seen
the guard dogs in homes
including my own
being fed with the left-over food
served forever on that same
unwashed, untidy old plate
or, even on a cement floor
outside the mansion

and with my own i have heard
my dog always said
he is grateful
with the swift wagging of his tail

i too have adopted that tale
to joyously re-tell
my receiving spousal support
unannounced, but dropped in that
unwashed, unkempt td account
i becoming, soon, my spouse’s grateful dog
