Pets

When pets and their owners don’t mix And the ape wants a divorce After years of empty threats He was resolute in his force And now he’s above you Was a lifetime stuck on repeat Ape had shut off long time ago Had to sleep had to eat Had to watch die what was fully grown Whimpered it’s way out Ape stuck in motel rooms Man’s back with his family Whose thoughts got colder? Whoever stays is damned to “let’s meet up at home” Man obliges, clothes come off Ape starts to slide it in Whilst the man is still weeping Ape writes a postcard His head in another place He gets his and rolls off Stares up and then the man rolls away I shoot at only things that smile down on me Just to see if they’ll move so at least I’ll know
