Guard Dogs

How you change your mind at will

head full of lice

mouth full of shit

the lies berate the dog



saying what you mean - not

meaning what you say  



at the sun you bark at will

sentimental chords  

the sound of dogs

an incessant drone  



you continue to bark

up the wrong tree, I say

heed my warning now

Heel!



I am allergic to your fur

the purr I prefer

they say barking dogs don’t bite

not you…
