Walking slowly, I enter the kitchen I have been here before, but this time is different Alone on the table a cheeseburger rests Unattended I glance both ways weighing my options The burger is fresh and dripping with juices Thinking ceases and instinct enacts Within seconds the beautiful sandwich is gone Stomach full, I lie on the floor Guilt sets in I have been a bad dog.
