Two Dogs
The new neighbor
has two dogs—
Big, beautiful
German shepherds.
They look so
much alike that the neighbor
Tied around
their necks to tell them apart.
They do little
all day,
Romping around
the property,
Sitting on their
perfect haunches
Watching
everything.
They are silver
grey, color of German steel.
They sit on the
grass, and
Suddenly because
they are free
They run upon
the newly cut autumn grass.
Question: why
does the neighbor want
To tell them
apart?
