Poem

Outside the four cafes, four dogs awaited their caffeine crazed owners.  Sniffing different street signs, taking inventory of who’d already been there.  Four dog “owners” exited the cafés.  A tall blonde, possibly bleached, retrieved the dog and haughtily gazed at the “other” cafes and dogs. A slightly rumpled donut muncher hurriedly hustled away with a slightly rumpled mutt. A lithe and limber, skin tight yoga panted Latte carrier, glided away.  The dog, nose high, sniffed nothing.  A rather large flannel shirt exited café number four, the dog nuzzled its owner.  It’s reward, a hearty greeting and vigorous petting.
	Shortly thereafter they all met at the dog park, the dogs that is.  The owners took their places.  One sat silently engrossed in a book.  One talked loudly into a cell phone.  One primped and posed while taking “selfies”.  One watched and laughed at the antics of the dogs.
	As they left the dog park the cups told a story.  One was left on a bench, one tossed on the ground, one rinsed and filled with water so the dog might have a drink, and one placed in the recycle barrel.
