I See Men Like Dogs Barking Poem by Armadillo Poet

I've noticed them,
By their obsession with the ape,
By their drooling at meal times
And at their gendered counterparts.

I see dogs where there should be people.

They walk
Down the halls
Turn corners
Blindly and are amazed
At the other end.

They want always
What's in a mirror.
But what's in a mirror?

I see dogs
On television singing
But even sometimes
Barking at each other
Or worse yet killing
At each other.

There are dogs
Where paintings should be.
And when I see paintings
They are invariably of dogs:
Dogs sitting and smiling,
Dogs staring out a window,
Dogs staring in a window
At other dogs
(How much is in a window?) ,
Dogs at a last supper,
Dogs being bombed to death,
Dogs bombing to death.

And at the museum
Only one painting of men:
They play poker, but are acting like dogs.
