Stella By Matt Borczon

That's the

problem

with this

dog I

have she

is terrified

of fireworks

I say

to the

guys watching

them explode

over the

ball field

then

I pull

her leash

and we

run for

home

it's just

easier than

admitting

that eight

years after

the war

I still

can't stand

that sound.
