Of words, dogs and playgrounds

Unguarded,
words skate down the slide of my tongue,
innocent words but true.
Plucking these sounds from the air between us
your ears shift their meaning,
twisting them round like a whirligig.
This contorted version distasteful
a bark escapes your lips
and I recoil,
puzzled by your canine reaction.
