Bow-wow
If I had a dog’s nose
I’d know everything about you
what you eat
the company you keep
the stink of your desires
your thoughts on fight or flight
bones you bury in the back yard
to dig up when the moon is full
what makes your eyes shine
and sets your tail to wagging

Love it, especially stanza 4.
thank you
How provocative! Doesn’t seem fair that we are less equipped, that our brains don’t compensate…
Originally I was going to write it as a choice – humans choose to hold their noses for egotistical reasons – but that took away from the spirit of the dog, so I pruned to preserve the point of view of the dog
love this
I’m glad. Thanks.
Wow is right!
“the stink of your desires”
stanza 4 “the bones you bury…”
definitely this one makes my eyes shine.
thank you, Scott. It was good to see you at the open mic at Third Street Stuff
