Canis lupus familiaris
February 14, 2017
The bland furnishing of the office resonated flatly
We heavily awaited his arrival in drowsy chairs
Patricia stank of haste, calm as the frenzied downpour
Spoke with newfound urgency:
“Don’t startle him,
he’s as small as our two fists”
The nonchalant office crescendoed with ecstasy
Grounded legs grew rhythmic with sporadic bouncing
A small yip escaped the solemn door
Opening like grand theater curtains
to the blundering of a harmless beast
