• WHAT A DAY
    UC Poika

    a stray dog of a day
    leash dragging all the way
    it really didn’t care
    it didn’t know where
    it wanted to be,
    it just wanted to feel free
    to go wild and bust loose
    like the plastic bags you choose
    caught on a tree limb
    you’d have to climb
    ripped off by the wind
    though it boggles the mind
    that such a thing could be
    a part of nature eventually

    nothing is ever actually
    as free as it maybe would be
    for a stick with a sharpened nail
    or the whistle and a wagging tail
    and everything is as it should be,
    a safe in the kennel by a tree
    type of dog eared day
    spent going the normal way.
