Metal buckets overflow,
filled by a garden hose
forgotten in the shade.

The end of a roll of Scotch tape,
peeled off and ripped
over the serrated edge.

A warm tongue stuck to
a frozen ice cube, waits
for it to melt.

Some dogs, when they accidentally
bite, find in their mistaken action
only pleasure and purpose.
