nightime human
scene
the smart dog
releases the bad dog
the shelter is quiet
the time is half dusk
in a smooth motion
evincing only a subtle clunk
paw and snout pinch the latch
and tony swooshes out
a thin boy and tall
his serious wisdom gaze
is locked on a point
through the end of the kennel wall
past the row of kennels
through the farthest yard
to just the other side of the viney fence
on the face through the vines
of the stinky canned fish bits
of the chewy bread roll chunks
talking and laughing and grumbling
steady and predictable
the nightime human
the smart dog
releases the bad dog
the shelter is quiet
the time is half dusk
in a smooth motion
evincing only a subtle clunk
paw and snout pinch the latch
and tony swooshes out

is locked on a point
through the end of the kennel wall
past the row of kennels

to just the other side of the viney fence
on the face through the vines
of the stinky canned fish bits
of the chewy bread roll chunks
talking and laughing and grumbling
steady and predictable
the nightime human
