go get your leash

at night
when i arrive home.
i sit
on the side chair and remove
my shoes.
i rub
my feet then go into
the kitchen.
i empty my pockets into
the green bowl.
keys
and change, dollar
bills.
notes.
i open the refrigerator
door
and brush
the stubble on my face.
the dog
follows
me around.
i pour food into his plate,
water
for his bowl
then go sit back down.
the dog comes
to sit beside me after
finishing his meal.
i put my hand
on his warm head and ask him,
so what's new?
walk?
where's your leash?
