Buster  

One hundred twenty some odd
     pounds of Rottweiler
     floats across the living room
     unseen
     unheard
     his huge black head
     appears as if by magic
     in her lap….

There are gaps in our awareness
     spaces between our thoughts
     he teleports himself
     through and around them
     like one avoids the furniture
     with practiced ease….

Unconcerned with physics
     he begins to purr
     like an overgrown kitten
     she absentmindedly
     scratches him
     and gently rubs his silken ears.
