He Lived a Quick Life

He would hold a stick
twice his length
in his mouth and prance
like a gazelle
over backyard tennis balls.
He liked chocolate chip cookie dough dropped on the floor.
And one time I took him for a walk,
but I felt resistance
against the leash in my hand.
When I gave him some slack
he almost bolted back
to his family.
I did not feel slighted,
and I told them about his loyalty,
as I rubbed his tummy.
It's not a gamble against a car.
The scent of the sidewalk flowers
so strong it's toxic.
I did not know the metro escalator steps
had so many lines to look at
near my feet.
I walk this slowly when I'm sick.

There is no such thing as leftover pizza. There is now pizza and later pizza. - anonymous
