almost   mid   night
belly   full   with
too   much
some  where
a    dog    barks
collared   by   comfort
hell   of   a   sorrowful   sound
no   guts        no   gamble
like  

the     suits     on     the     hill
hardly  worth  the  mention
some   where    else
there's    a     dog
willing  to  howl
at   the  moon
who  will  tear
your  heart  out
if   he   sees   you
with
a
leash
