A dog taut leashed...
Something observed,
squashed into road:
the dog explores geometry
and thus the psyche of her Man,
moving closer to him, dropping
the tension that's in between them;
so that he relaxes; and she
is almost able to get close
to what it is
she wants to sniff
but not quite. He
pulls her right back;
and then they walk on, obedient
