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
