A woman is walking
what appears to be a dog
in the park I appear to be writing in.
I don’t know what breed it is but
all of the fur on its body
except the head
has been shaved, making it look
like a toilet brush with legs.
I don’t have much to write about
today. My relationships are going well.
My body is exercised and fed.
The dead people in my life are still dead and
a woman is walking
what appears to be a dog
in the park.
