A Random Sighting with Sleep in My Eyes #1

Grey spotted dog on the roof!
He snuck on through an unlocked door
     that Juan left open
          when he went to lunch.

First the snout peeks out,
     a nostril radar:
What's this place, huh?
It's warm,
     that's nice
BUT WAIT
What's that
      I saw it move
 It moved
     I saw!

He creeps out and bares a little teeth
     at a wind blown garbage bag,
But when it doesn't jump him,
     he pads slowly out into the sun,
tilting his ears to the sound of traffic,
     finally finds a corner
and tucks himself inside it,
      smiling a wet pink mouth
and showing his tummy to the sky.
