Twirlers, tish, tish, tish.
Clydesdale, Golden Retriever,
She is chomping at the leash,
bobbling up and down,
a beautiful creature
being gassed by the aquarium
of tall buildings swarming
with engines crawling
around on wheels.
Her owners, looking around,
looking up – They think
life beautiful too, enhanced
by their Golden Retriever,
but they’re killing her,
essence and all.
Truthfully, with lonely envy,
I only want the Golden
to come visit me in my office
and stay with me forever.

Thank you. It is an arc, and I had not realized how much so until you remarked upon it. I get a lot of wide arcs in my emotions! 🙂

I had a Golden, would love to have him back. 🙂 Aquarium is an interesting way to look at the city.

I have one now, Gracie, and she’s old, so every single day with her is a bountiful gift!
