Young Dog

Young Dog

 

 

I’ve got a young dog,

Not wholly domesticated.

The more disadvantaged he feels,

          Be it chained to a tree

          Or being yelled at to discipline,

The more hardcore he becomes;

          Hackles up, teeth bared,

          Snarling like a wild thing.

 

Lying on the bed

          With handcuffs limiting me,

          I become that wild dog.
