Should Leash Laws
By Todd Boss
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.
