DOG
DOG DAYS
Nothing prepared me for what I
discovered behind Robards Library
Chinese cherry trees blooming in
February & a dog named Sue singing
a tune Put on your high heel sneakers
because we’re going out tonight Sue
crooned And somewhere an alien wind
blew what might have been to smithereens
Don’t wait for a tarnished Spring to discover
how false this life has been Start now
