waiting
this handsome guy
was
relaxing
inside a shop
in Santa Fe
this past summer
when I was visited
that look
is
pure
annoyance
I had knelt down to take that photo
but
he wouldn't look at me
so
I persisted
hello
hey boy
how you doing
big guy
finally
he turned
exasperated
I got that shot
then
of course
he turned back
no amount
of cajoling
would get him
to look at me
for a second shot
I am
on my way home
from a short get-away
no
not
another trip to Santa Fe
I'll catch you up
when I get unpacked
