Should Leash Laws

                                                                                                       govern

a canine

                                                                                              meeting,

                        their paws

                                                                                                       all over

instinct’s

                                                                                  greeting,

it’s we   

                                                                                  who do

              the dancing

                                                                                                       there, lest

              our restraints

                                                                                            ourselves

ensnare.

                                        Over the head,

between

                                                                                  the legs,

                        we tangle

                                                                                                       with our

rules

                                                                                              & regs

                                                     like film

in a projector’s

                                                                                                       cogs,

                                        reclaim

              the lead,

                                                                                  then blame

the dogs.
