What the Dog Knows

First Verse
That the coat means yes.
That the keys mean maybe.
That the bag by the door means a long absence
and should be sat upon immediately.

That grief smells like a person who has stopped
moving through the rooms in the usual order,
and the cure for it is a wet nose
applied without permission to the hand.
