“Rockridge”

Chins up
dog walkers speed past
the tranny on the curb reading bechdel
but the dogs notice
sniffing the knees, necks bent
forcing against the leash, pull

Mom used to holler, dogs jumped to nuzzle
the long zipper of her blue jeans
“female!” as if the dog was checking

I hesitate to holler
what the animal simply knows

Sexual organs splayed on the sidewalk
for yuppies to sniff
lick
analyze
