#212 extra kibble/dog day afternoon

at ten a.m., i overheard my boss saying to my best friend
that i was incompetent
and my friend agreed
at lunch, i opened my bag and my soup had leaked all over my weekly reports
at two, i handed in a photocopy of the reports and the stains
to my boss
at 6, i stopped to pick up supper
and realized i had two dollars and thirty cents,
at the cash register,
while my old high school english teacher stood behind me in line
but when i got home,
when i got home
i saw her tongue in the window
and when i opened the door,
when i opened the door,
she smiled at me and wagged her tail
