MAN'S BEST

You can tell a lot
about people from their dogs.
Adults barking territorially at offspring.
Homeless men dragging string leads
past guard dog's sharp gates.

You can tell a lot
about dogs from their people.
Snarling pit-bulls guard snarling punks.
Solid Labrador helps solid labourer.
Designer pooches accessorize designer purses.

You can tell a lot
about people to their dogs.
“Stay close to him tonight,
the other chair is empty-
she is never coming back”.
