child sees dog
on grass, points,
laughs. dog sniffs
air, spongey damp
nose quivers, tail
writhes. crow
lands on branch,
child says "caw,
caw, caw!" crow
eyeballs child. clouds
under blue hurry,
rush, late for something.
cars pass, loud
metal beasts, they
amaze child. father
takes child's hand,
tugs dog with
leash. child laughs.
father smiles. crow
says "caw, caw,
caw!" child laughs.
