New Book! Enough About That by Miriam Sagan

 

The Only Dog I’m Walking Is My Mood

My neighbor says no
it’s not a new dog
just the same
old dog.

They live on a slightly fancier part of the cul-de-sac.

Incredible to have grown old
on this very street
over forty years

of terrible pain and minor parties.

Incredible to live at all.
