Sport / a poem by Will Dockery (1980)

[Will Dockery]

Sport

The dog
the two toned animal
what do those eyes say?

The dog
he speaks and breathes
what do those eyes say?

Thee dog
what shall he do?

The dog
yes, he's a two toned animal
what do those eyes say?

The dog
he speaks
and breathes
what do those eyes say?

The dog
what should he do?

The dog
runs on
the frost covered ground.

Cold
breathes
in the mist
the dog.

Born in the nick of time
in the hamlet
of Edgewood Forest.

Was the best
animal I ever met
certainly that is true.

Sport
Sport
how goes it
running wild in the cosmos?

Lived so close to Edgewood Park but never played the endless ball games
there official and unofficial.

Redwood Park was the place to get high in and wander around with. My dog
Sport. The 1970e family dog
