Me – The Dog

Claudia Wysocky

The typical things:

When everyone left,

I screamed,

—Does anyone care?

I moped.

—Stuck inside my room, alone,

Nobody coming to see me.

Everybody left,

—But I want to feel like them again.

Moving on,

Moving on from Me.

Adrift,

Just trying to live,

Ignoring everything.

Sit by the bowl—

Play a game for two!

Nothing better,

—than just being,

Food’s on the counter,

Waiting

Waiting
