lot dogs 9

[putting on the dog 2] liar she said
you just lied jingle jangling
her track license all privilege n pomp
like some Catherine the Great caricature
having to park with the proles
and maybe miss her horse slip
in the sloppy track

lot Dog 6

Vicious Sid on the job
crisp evening sun he crows
pushes those cars out
exhausted full of reckless joy

lot dogs 3

you’re being unreasonable she pined
the back seat window rolled not half way down as if

I had power over the rain her hair
her make up those painted-on eyebrows
meant to give accent

to an accentless face and me /greybeard/
socks soaked to the bone between her

and a good hair day
