Domesticated Dog

domesticated dog
in your manicured yard
your master is inside
watching tarzan
do you hear the yelling
erratic and feral
does it remind you
do you feel your teeth growing
the levee will not hold the water back
the ropes will not hold the gorilla
family of rats
in a wet paper bag
there's a sleeping giant
under a net that we made out of freeways
with wide openings
right now
at the bottom of the lake
right there at the bottom of the lake
