a black dog ran down the street under a blue sky.
the blue sky was filled with white clouds.
a woman in a yellow dress came out of her house.
the house was painted white. it had a red roof.
the woman was annoyed when she walked around her green lawn and saw the rabbit holes in it.
the woman went back inside the house and made herself an ice cold drink.
sipping the drink, she remembered the days when she had more to worry about than lawns and rabbits.
the black dog ran back up the street.
it saw a small gray rabbit on the woman’s lawn and chased it.
the rabbit ran away and got under a fence and into a hole in the lawn of the house behind the woman’s.
the woman heard the dog bark when the rabbit disappeared under the fence, but she paid no attention to it and continued sipping her drink.
when she finished the drink she debated whether to look up a pest control company online in order to deal with the rabbits, turn on the television and watch the news, or make another drink.
the dog sniffed under the fence a few times and then gave it up and went back across the lawn and back on to the street.
the dog, of course, was not supposed to be running around loose and up and down streets on its own, but it belonged to a man who considered himself to be a rebel and an outlaw.
nobody told the man or his dog what to do. they were wild and free.
the man lived on the street next to the one the woman lived on.
the man and the woman had never met.
