poem:

Canine 

borderline crossing

malamute trots to the approaching baby carriage

Marmalukes watch with dispassion

as a young bride canters

with her load

"what's the point of comparing mastoid scars"

the dog says to the tribesmen

"do you not care how we adapt?"

the Marmaluke says to the doggie

"I care, I care completely"

snatching the baby in it's teeth
