what's that – that a italian
greyhound? he was bent
down already
giving margot a scratch
on her chin. a whippet
I told him. just small
for her size – immediately
felt like an idiot. a whippet
he said not even noticing. she'd come
right up to him. my dog has an instinct
for people which I've never shared.
it would be much easier
saying yes to whatever they ask me.
who really cares what a dog is?
