The bitch's strength's like that of ten because she is
obsessed
with cat alerts and puppy poop and who is least and
best.
But dogs are aimed at larger goals, like food and food
and sex
and walks and quiet thoughts and time to be perplexed.
By bitches who blow hot and cold, with cold their
standard state,
each more inclined to bark at cats outside the gate
than answer back when dogs approach and ask them for
their sign,
just turn away, or sit down flat, or otherwise
decline.
So dogs decide when dinner's on and how to pee uphill
to tell the world they're twelve feet tall, but still,
there's something hollow in their bark, these
semi-kings,
for bitches get to be in charge of the important
things.
