The Bulletin Board - Nov. 15, 2025

He loves this wall, puffs

the pit bull’s master, trying

to hold back the straining beast

So does mine, I say

to the curved garden wall

corner house

end of the street

a graffitied arc of dog watermarks,

a sloppiness of canine autographs

each overlaying a dozen others

after rain, all signatures dissolve

and the first mutt to reach the bulletin

board, lifts a leg and leaves a message

Hi, this is me, and when you get a chance,

tell me a little about yourself
