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!
