frisky

back in late february 
after several snow falls 
it warmed up a bit 

there was a lot of clean up
 but
 at the intersections
 there were still hillocks of filthy snow

 i was walking up from the 72nd street subway 
behind 
a young woman with a frisky dog
 as she walked
 he insisted 
on 
inspecting
 every snow mound
 climbing atop several 
eating the snow 

at 79th street 
they paused
 waiting for the traffic light to change
 i was behind them
 i whipped out my phone
 snapped a few quick shots 
before
 the light changed

 i am sorry 
i didnt get to ask his name 
i think of him as
frisky
