Thanksgiving Valentine

Some tall dude being pulled
on a skateboard at quite a clip
by his Jack terrier
a huge overdressed old
woman in a wheelchair
drawn up the street
by her vain bulldog
a boy in Star Wars pajamas
playing catch with his
anorexic Chihuahua
like in The Poker Game
if we could see the dogs
and bitches we are
if in my left hand
I held my heart
and in my right
a hummingbird
that moment on the mural
came where the hierophant
had flaked away
pale wonder still fresh
on the supplicant's face.
