Story
A woman's taking her late-afternoon walk
on Chestnut where no sidewalk exists
and houses with gravel driveways
sit back among the pines.
Only the house
with the vicious dog is close to the road.

An electric fence keeps him in check.

When she comes to that house, the woman
always crosses to the other side.


I'm the woman's husband.
It's a problem
loving your protagonist too much.

Soon the dog is going to break through
that fence, teeth bared, and go for my wife.

She will be helpless.
I'm out of town,
helpless too.
Here comes the dog.

What kind of dog? A mad dog, a dog
like one of those teenagers who just loses it
on the playground, kills a teacher.


Something's going to happen that can't happen
in a good story: out of nowhere a car
comes and kills the dog.
The dog flies
in the air, lands in a patch of delphiniums.

My wife is crying now.
The woman who hit
the dog has gotten out of her car.
She holds
both hands to her face.
The woman who owns
the dog has run out of her house.
Three women
crying in the street, each for different reasons.


All of this is so unlikely; it's as if
I've found myself in a country of pure fact,
miles from truth's more demanding realm.

When I listened to my wife's story on the phone
I knew I'd take it from her, tell it
every which way until it had an order
and a deceptive period at the end.
That's what
I always do in the face of helplessness,
make some arrangements if I can.


Praise the odd, serendipitous world.

Nothing I'd be inclined to think of
would have stopped that dog.

Only the facts saved her.
