SOME

The eyes of animals
like the raccoon slinking
from the cat�s dish speak

plain enough. Some blank
turn outside-in like
drooling house dogs

or blind with rage,
a confused cow
that cannot see the gate.

Some trust deeply, but
some so fearful
you dare not meet them

with kind designs. Some
shake hands and look away
to hide what�s on their minds.
