and man looked at dog,
trapped and baring teeth,
and said,
you will be love
dog laments his pain and
man says
i wish i were you
dog bites at chains and says
what have you done
why am i here
and man says
i wish i were you
your life is so easy
you have no worries
and dog says
i worry about my body
you have taken me away from myself
and man dons a rose in his eyes,
and man sighs in envy
and dog bites at bars
that truly do not exist.
