a woman's breath
leaves a trail of vapour
pink sky to the east

old biddy whizzing along
on a mobility scooter,
her large staffy on a lead beside her
half trotting, haf running,
lumps of poo bouncing out as it goes.
No time to stop and sniff;
no time to say hello
no time leave a scent
to say "I am here."
Cruelty, perhaps,
but better than a dog pound
and termination.
