To: S in OC
our doggy
needs to be warned
to not approach mr. w’s house
a neighborly grin yesterday
he confessed he’d long desired
to give her a nice kick on the belly
would he care for
a little history
in return of such polity?
‘before we settled here
the land was hers
after a car gave her the limp
old and shabby now
she’s easy to disgust
your God-fearing soul’
