This sign is just to say…
Dog Found. Maybe the black Lab that rebelled
ten years ago against the dingy apartment
you moved into after the divorce.
Maybe your grandmother’s Chihuahua
that just walked into the woods one day,
we can only hope to live deliberately.
Maybe the Jack Russell mix that
disappeared through a broken window the day
you worked extra late through a storm.
Maybe the Cockerpoo that belonged
to the girlfriend whose name you barely
remember–the one that took one look
at your Great Dane and fled for her life.
We don’t know more than this.
The sign is just to say…
Dog Found.
