dogfood
------------------for marc
eight times a week
but never in a row
we played out our sad
often disturbed cartoons
every tree, every lampost
every fire hydrant was game
as the mice and cats scurried
for cover
we sniffed each other
for imagination and whispered
our soulful into their
perpetual kennels
we defeated the odds
by barking over theirs
the all too mutual aura
of tiresome boneyards
who but us
ever had the nerve
in those policed streets
of alien watching
to bite
where dogs were not
even allowed
to piss
