Department Store Canine
Dog attached, leashed to stroller.
Inside seven month old femme fatale.
Young tannish Lab.
Not quite developed.
Intuitive and guarding
The precious mewing package.
Back home lying still
While Lily grabs the fur
Climbs the tan mountain
Of benevolence.
Here comes elderly woman
Leaning over.
Passing compliments of wonder.
Yeah, this one’s OK.
BUT that boy over yonder.
Pulling shirts off the rack.
Dropping them to the floor.
Grinning.
No clerk noticing.
He’d better stay away.
