This is the neighborhood patrol
ears cocked just so
because he has to know
who's on the street today
Someone talking too loud?
Kids at play?
Leash-less dogs?
With jingly tags?
The muffler-less car
on one of their ear-splitting jags?
Don't worry
he'll bark
he'll let everyone know
it's a thankless job
being neighborhood patrol
