Taz (commonality)

Marissa

This dog plays
at the same game:
drop the ball
roll the ball
fetch the ball
again.
Day after day:
drop the ball
roll the ball
fetch the ball
again.
It is his career,
not so dissimilar
from mine,
day after day
in the end:
drop the ball
roll the ball
fetch the ball
again.

    How often it seems so! A dog is happy (or I think so) in the repetition. Maybe they have something to teach us? Hmmmm. I loved the rhythm of this poetry. Debra
