Best friends at first sniff

if only

if only

we ran across the field towards each other

tags wagging furiously, yes, a few nips, some teeth

and a couple growls and then all forgiven.

the walls would fall at the borders, 

all would be fed,

there would be no guns and each child would

have a mother and a father.

black, brown and white all play together 

like these two.

if only.
