Weird Confrontation

I sat on the grass, and looked at the dog,

Sitting on his haunches, ten feet away;

And he calmly looked back at me, that day.

Motionless, like two lifeless stone statues,

Fully into each other's eyes we stared;

To see the first moves, which one of us dared;

I studied his canine body language,

While he stared silently at me to find,

To fathom all the thoughts I had in mind;

Our confrontation lasted minutes,

Then the dog stood up, turned, and walked away;

It really was weird, what happened that day.
