is this what you want?


by walter w johnson iii



the real estate agent
takes a bite
of tofu
and puts his fork down

the hostess of the restaurant
looks out the window
and wishes it would rain
because she likes to watch the rain

the little dog
pushes his head
over the half rolled down car window
but can not squeeze out of it
and run off down the street
much as he would like to

a lonesome whistle blows
but only in a country and western song
listened to by the parking attendant
in his shack
on his phone
on jango
