Listen to poem:

Say Dog See Dog

Say Dog See Dog 
By David J Walker

How much easier it would be
If dreams came with closed captioning
And a laugh-track 
and perhaps Applause
 at appropriate intervals 

A deep-voiced narrator 
and serious music
Could help explain each frame in 
Historic context 
of tonight’s documentary

And if the editor could include
soft dissolves Between transition in scenes 
I could better Resolve discrepancies 
in timelines

Say Dog
	See Dog
Comes to mind 
if I were writing the script
For this double feature 

And by the way
Black & White is dramatic 
	But I would shoot in color
