A Writer's Inspiration

I'd like to speak to you, Dog Next Door
Though I don't know what you're called.
Not Fido!
You need a meaningful moniker:
Apollo, perhaps--
Can you live up to his great feats?

I'd like to reach you, Dog So Near
Though window-glass separates us.
Are you always stretched out in the sun,
Lying in wait,
Or do you only come out
When I sit at my desk
Calling on you?

I'd like to take a stroll with you, Dear Dog
No rush--
Just
Walking side by side
Till we are so close
It doesn't matter
Who is leading whom.
