water for my dog,
from this wine glass
purchased at tiffanys
or was it big lots?
…probably more likely
two for a dollar,
a deal,
a steal,
a bargain bin love affair
wonder if it’s too late
to exchange for a better
sort of despair?

then concrete a scheme

these affordable damages
one step from dependable
brain damages
that was a good song

drink too much from the
finest crystal
or from a dirty dog dish,
it leads to the same
misdirections,
contraceptions
and hesitations
with each step

now that
stumbling is not a dance step
it seems to be the right
waltz for me now

looking down over you ,
my little dog or
wishful thinker,
was it my lover, this
my pretty flower?
cut down in a rain shower
