sometimes being a dog
is the passiveness

such a passivity
asks the wolf
what were we here for

sure, there are communications
verbal and nonverbal

i tend to see Jon
recline back to almost
180 degrees

finicky to the television show
that presents gaming
or vibrant emotion

my body curls
tightly enough
to make the snakes jealous

and his slippers
grind into my neck

warmness
boorish flashes of light
declension in the daily decay

the sighing expounds
and beguiles from his lungs

and my rising ribs
almost match
the soughing week
against no odds

timeliness
is just accidental atheism
that's what my old man
used to say
when he spoke to himself
