A dog peed on a Dog Rose.
The man with the dog: all his wounds had healed.
The dog wandered on, not getting the joke.
Could there be dog pee on another dog rose?
And could the man have lived a life less broken—
he looked at a puddle in which night was.
What I could have done but did not do, he thought.
Then he thought: what someone else could have done,
but didn’t.
