CHORUS DOGS

Marc Carver

I hear a dog
barking
I know he is big
he has a deep bark
cars go up and down
and he continues to bark.
I don't think he will ever stop.
That tree looks like a kid with an afro.
I saw three women that i know a little today
know of them wanted to talk to me.
FOR A SECOND
I WISHED I COULD LEAVE THIS PLACE
But i have nothing to start over.
More dogs start to bark a chorus
and i sit there
watching the tree
