dog park justice


albuquerque

wildness just below the surface
and a couple of huskies mixed in
for good measure
the play gets rough
from time to time
or maybe it's all just for show
something learned
from washington insiders
wouldn't it be something
to bring on the road
to believe in
like the truth
will set us free
     round & round the perimeter they chase
mouths & noses open
to new sensations      new possibilities
stripping away the phony
     spit slips into the gears
of clunky machinery
greasing the money markets
with a false sense of accomplishment
     sisters & brothers this ain't the real economy
but the growth of bare subsistence
loose treats dropping down
into a collective bark
of desperation
