CASEY from UNENJOY by Majetic

casey, you hassle
you troublesome mut
dysfunctional greyhound
impetuous pup

well i don’t have time for this
shut your damn mouth
your limitless whimpering
carries all through the house

casey, what is it?
you have a bad dream?
eric is gone
i’m doing my best

someone once hurt you
& crippled your walk
oh come here
you elegant, dignified dog

you look like a cheetah
when i take for walks in the neighborhood
come lie on the carpet
i’ll finger the troughs of your rib cage

when i feel a darkening
you stalk through the house like anubis
to find where i’m hiding out
you come to my side
& you comfort me with your paw
