Walking my dog
Freddy
A mini-labradoodle
Early morning
Past a bevy of doves
One dove calls out
Says, I think
"Nice to see you.
"Nice to see you.
"Nice to see you."
A man opens his front door
Calls out
"Hello, Boss."
Boss. I think
I have never been a boss.
I have been a newspaper boy.
A gardener.
A lifeguard.
A Sunday School teacher.
A girl's softball coach.
A copywriter.
A marketing executive.
A writer.
A photographer.
A speech-writer.
A salesperson.
An art gallery owner.
I call out to the man
Who called me boss
"Nice to see you."
