i have a little black dog
who keeps on whining.
he's so loud that he keeps me up at night.
tomorrow i'll have a larger black dog
that will bark and growl.
he'll be dangerous and more frightening than usual.
right now i am looking at photographs
and realized my little dog isn't so small.
but he's not such a big deal so i don't bring him outside with me.
my black dog is baring his teeth
and he's growing bigger and stronger.
and i'm not so scared that he'll bite me, although other people are.
