A DAY WITH THE DOGS
she stood at the railpoised and posed and pale
while I attended
conscious of my cheap shirt
"What happens if a dog catches the
rabbit?" she asked
"They won't chase it anymore," I replied
"Then they become no good for racing?"
I shook my head and watched her turn
back to the track
she laughed when she won
simple luck
her number
and touched my cheek briefly
"but I bet they still like to run," she said
