Running In Circles
My owner wants me to play catch
So he keeps throwing his pretty frisbee my way
The frisbee may be pretty, but I want to chase my tail
So I’ll ignore him like the selfish bastard I am
And continue to run and run in circles
Until the world around me blurs
And his voice becomes nothing but an echoing pang of guilt,
A beating drum against my straining heart
My heart that wants nothing more than to be a good dog,
But is too dizzied by the
Never ending, stomach churning carousel that is tail chasing
To ever break free
This poem is about:
