you misunderstand,
I am a dog,
catcher of stray humans

don't need no net,
just my bare paws,
since I am thinking no one has
likely said this day:p
"Good morning,
dear human one,
you are adored,
come to be sheltered,
and comforted in the places unseen,
where comfort needed most

Let me be the first,
to address you thus

and,

if but second,

then I am ecstatic
twice over.


now knowing this,
second place,
even better
than first,

in this instance
