Magnetitude
Strange but expected phenomenon
Tugging at puppies like a line of clumped iron filings
The magnetism of promising plinks of kibble
Filling the glass bowl
Which scream to instincts
The concept of "Fed" plays out
Flinging fast furry feet
And faster canine jaws
And frantic tongues
The same force draws police
Vans, cars, motorcycles
Toward the plinking of copper jackets
Spilling on concrete
Frantic for a taste of violence
They squeeze down narrow streets
Tires squealing out impatience
Complete with a runty pedestrian
Straggling at the rear
Tugging at puppies like a line of clumped iron filings

And faster canine jaws
And frantic tongues
The same force draws police
Vans, cars, motorcycles
Toward the plinking of copper jackets

Frantic for a taste of violence
They squeeze down narrow streets
Tires squealing out impatience
Complete with a runty pedestrian
Straggling at the rear

The author encourages honest critique.
The connections you make here are wonderful. It makes me think of what I've learned about epigenetics. The natural, ingrained instincts to eat, chase. Very insightful TG

As always, your comments are much appreciated and insightful. Epigenetics definitely comes to mind, or possibly synchronicities. Threads that connect disperate things.
