The Old Target

When we first came here I watched a little dog jump up at a man and tear his trousers. The dog’s owner didn’t say a thing – didn’t apologise, just took the dog away. The man, perhaps in shock, wandered in what used to be Target, and came out a few minutes later wearing a new pair of trousers, then rambled off in a daze down the street. I remember thinking, what kind of town is this?!
