word are words
no different from
the whining of a hound
we can sit in our silly circle
and bite and bark in each others faces
i will be completely entertained
dancing around the outside
laughing smiling
but there are times when all i want
is for you to see me
watch me dance
look what i can do
and how am i supposed to do such a thing
get your attention
i will howl
i will howl
i will howl and howl and howl
until you come over and
softly sweetly with a smile
scratch me behind my ear
