Woman with Tight Hat

She pulls to the curb, parks,
opens
the back door of her sedan.
A golden dog, a half-breed,
leaps out, pees the tire.

She wears a fedora, sweat
pants
and someone else’s persona,
she’s not who she says she is.

The dog cannot speak for her
nor can the fedora.
Her hat pulls her head so tight,
her ears are mere decoration.
