Bling
By Marc Carver

A man walks past me casually
his dog walks about 6 paces behind
he doesn’t look back.
The dog walks with a swagger, like he is a rapper,
he has a big jaw.
Then I notice he has two big chains around his neck
when I get closer I see they are solid gold
he staggers off
no idea of how much he is worth.
I think about dognapping him but that jaw just looks too big.
