The South End of Boston, Massachusetts

Posted by Julia Wald


Men holding hands, women kissing
But something else is missing
Then, in the moist, the heat, the dark, I hear it bark:
The proud protective pooch
Terrier, Collie, Pug, Maltese, strut coolly on the leash
Daintily leaping over tiny cracks
Protecting masters’ backs
From any jeers
They have no fears
These fierce and fuzzy advocates,
They’re strutting for equality

“The South End of Boston, Massachusetts”
