be the smart dog

dogs
are smart.
most, but not all.
they know how much they're
loved.
they run
with you
and fetch,
they play ball, they sleep
in the big
bed,
or have a space
all their own.
they can't wait for you
to get home,
sitting by
the window,
wagging their tail
at the door.
they get free room
and board
and health
care.  they are adored.
only the dumb
dogs
run
when the door is left
open.
never to be seen again.
the smart ones
stay put.
like i do with you.
