Dinner

read so you remember to feed the dog

By Joe Nasta | Seattle foodie poetPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Green fingers, yellow toes.

Her car slowed with a low

ered window. “Beautiful,”

she cooed to the dog.

She hoped he would

follow her, pull up

into the driveway.

She wandered,

nearly dreaming,

into a large bath

room that looked

out on the garden.

Somebody’s got to feed him.
