Asphalt Dogs
By metaphormachine
Asphalt dogs?
Dreamed dogs.
Have you ever dreamed of dogs?
They were finished with you, dirty?
We were invisible, no home
Secretly corrupted sunk
Died.
In the gutter, in the asphalt.
Asphalt jungle, colourful
clinically cold.
Clinically clean } ... dogs ... (?!?)
Pure & uncorrupted
antibacterial
clinically dead
a sick animal
disappears into his cave
its withdraws.
There it is then stable, whole,
so slowly ... crazy ...
whey-faced ... sequestered ...
Can they defend themselves?
{ Can it help you?
It can not live? } ... hitherto ... sunder
Betimes ... hitherto ... in days of yore.
{ What is his job?
When is his job? } ... stout-hearted ... parlous
Dogs ... these asphalt dogs.
Task!? His sense, meaning
His sense of ... for disaster? } ... dogs ... (?!?)
Dogs bite when they smell fear
also, they are filthy welcome
odour worlds anti—anti—bacterial
asphalt worlds, tremendously much own purpose
apply other rules, while dreaming of dogs
if the animal
licking his wounds
if it's fear turns
his rounds, then it seems much
overcome
human impact
kennels
creating the master race
cage around the platforms
bruised, in the gutter
In the asphalt.
Dogs ... these asphalt dogs.
Have you ever dreamed of animals?
Or only of dogs?
Dreamt animal
on all fours
so pure & uncorrupted
frizzy or smooth skins
new cases
in the gutter - in asphalt
asphalt case
antibacterial, sterile
aseptic, terribly cold
awful
fruitful
Reproductive ... dire ... in days of yore.
Have you ever dreamed of dogs?
From asphalt dogs, dreamed dogs
We are all ...
Asphalt dogs!
