Small, slim, silent, stooped
Left outside a cafe, tied
Rain slicked furred licked
Blue tie tethered
Grey puddles measured
Reflect silver chair legs grey clouds
and red covers, not covering
anything.
Not of use to this small waif, a dog
left being patient, alone.
A dog with winsome look
Wanting warmth, a pat
I acknowledge that
Its owners heedless
Drink coffee as drips
of wet rain on their pet.
I don’t get the coffee urge
just pat the dog and
our eyes, merge.
