Never Love a Rez Dog

TIPPY


She chases the squirrel
when she has no chance
when there is too much far
between her
and the closest branch

who is the smarter of the two
hard to tell at a glance

The squirrel
goes only part way up
turns ands laughs

Tippy is barking
up the tree that is right

but it's just barking to bark
barking to spite

She's enjoying
herself
So what can I say
This is life
it is just that way

Smiling through your misses
and mistakes can be hard

But some days
I find a half eaten
squirrel in the yard
