barking dogRead Another
Which is worse, the incessant barking of a neighbor’s dog
or their yelling at it to SHUT UP.
Its all part of a chorus signifying a bonded friendship and
mutually caring I’m told.
Nonetheless its giving me more canine input than I need
when trying to concentrate on humans.
Are my visions of strangling it unkind? What about poison?
Why do I enjoy petting it once its quiet?
— John Hansen, Seattle
