We Argue

I go for a walk

I intend it to be a long walk,

I take the dogs with me,

A couple of happy faces

To smile at me.

Towards the end, I stop for

Lemon sorbet in a cone

Anything, to not go home

Sweet and sour at the same time

The sun shines brightly down.

The dogs and I sit on a step 

outside the ice cream shop 

and watch the world wander by.

The dogs get twisted in their leads

At least there is a breeze

The sun beats down on the ground

The sky is blue all around.

Men in shorts abound

A girl smiles with her dachshund,

My boyfriend waits at home with a frown

I’m wondering where else I can go in town?
