Walking Three Dogs - May 15, 2026

two is a dance

three is a juggle

not in the arc of a ball

but in the microscopic space

between switching hands,

when in the briefest possibility

one leash could go airborne

and for one rascally dog,

to upset the catch with a well-

timed tug would be freedom

and just like a rubber ball,

would recoil and rebound away

with me running in pursuit,

slower and funnier

than I ever have
