The dog in the photograph caught
Jumping in mid-air does not
See its elongated shadow
Being cast on the asphalt
Some five or six yards
Behind it, nor that the other
Shadow next to it belongs
To a girl sitting in the road
Looking in the opposite direction
Behind the dog and now readying
To take a different photo, nor
That this girl sees no shadows
At all, not even those two long
Oozing tar-like strips from the rear
Of the black-and-white shoes
Of the two women directly behind her,
Who are busy framing
A different shot
Of an indifferent dog curiously
Arrested in mid-air.
