Keys, wallet, phone, airpods Dog bags, treats, leash Dog Shoes on, headphones in, Music up and door locked,

Me time, free time Just walk Head down, mouth closed Summer air and summer heat Struggling in too-long jeans

Okay one behind No one in front Where's the dog?

Glance back Headphone out Call him, flash a treat

Pop.

Pop? Have you heard this before? Not a gun- you watch too much tv Not a nerf one either

Remember when you were eight? That toy gun that your friends little brother had It shot foam balls into the air

That kinda pop.
