collie black and white,
sleek, graceful
circles left low to the ground.
sinks to lying down,
nose to the earth.
swift to move right,
deft, silent,
drops down,
alert and watching.
ears twitch
listening to directives
only he can hear.
intuiting instinct
only he knows
he steers the invisible sheep
into the invisible pen,
awarded top marks by
the invisible ‘One Man and His Dog’.
and the man
on the path
in the park,
sees only the screen
on his mobile phone.
