A Wish for Two More - June, 26, 2025

sets of four legs all around me

Cutter, Oliver, Gracie and Scout -

walking tables with flexible supports

while my only two multiply my chance

of tumbling, breaking a leg or hip, you’ve

never heard of a dog with a cast or

a hip replacement from a fall

compare a desk to a floor

lamp – which do you think

is more likely to fall over

when it is moved

one day I will crash to

the ground

and their ears will rise

and perfectly frame

their lucky little faces
