Two Dogs Moses Sumney

I had two dogs
In the summer of 2004
One was boot black
The other whiter than a health food store
Medicine hogged
The floor space on the back porch
Donations my monarchs saved up
To take up to the poor

Oh, the backyard sang
A chorus of barks from Yin and Yang
They played angel and demon
But oh, I loved them just the same
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Strange how what heals can also kill

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, oh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, oh-ooh-ooh, oh

I found two dogs
On the hot concrete of the back porch
One in amniotic vomit
The other in fetal contort
Medicine clogged
Their stomachs 'til they overpoured
Strange how what heals can also kill
