Domesticated Dog

domesticated dog

in your manicured yard

your master is inside

watching tarzan

do you hear the yelling

erratic and feral

does it remind you

do you feel your teeth growing

the levee will not hold the water back

the ropes will not hold the gorilla

family of rats

in a wet paper bag

there's a sleeping giant

under a net that we made out of freeways

with wide openings

right now

at the bottom of the lake

right there at the bottom of the lake
