Bella World

all she has to do is look pretty, cock her ears a bit
and little girls will come, even tall blonde women, 
they know that Bella loves them.
In living rooms, on the street, she walks boldly towards
them, tail high and wagging, eager and they stop,
smile, and ask
"Can I pet her?"
This is Bella World, where oxytocin flows in dog
and human alike, where homework is put aside,
dishes are left undone and dog hair abides 
on kitchen floors and couches, alike.  
When will Bella be invited again to your house?
