He pranced along with eleven ears, 

Tho he did not come by them naturally..

Smartly groomed,

His eyes sparkling with delight at all in his line of sight 

amidst the rakish cascade of his coal black locks.

While the bland human on the other end of the leash only had eyes for his ‘smart’ phone.

And thus they walked around the block,

Together only by tether, each in different worlds.

Please don’t mistake your mechanical connections for real ones….wether they are digital or leather.
