I just went out for a walk, and….
I found my paws in perfect balance…
All the landmarks familiar…
Papa rat….look out!

My body slightly tipped by the wind…
I’m attached to nothing…
I’m like a dresser with no drawers…
Yet, there seems to be no end to my capacity.

Ah! A piece of a donut just on the path!
Who needs cutlery!
Gobbling loudly, then licking the glaze off the sidewalk…
The sidewalk feels like sandpaper on my tongue…
But you humans have a saying, correct? No pain, no gain!

Thinking, it’s time to stop running with the pack…
Separate myself from all those growls and sneers…
Pack those memories and put them in the back of the closet…
Because the last time I lay with mangy pups, I woke up with fleas!

Today I’m going to simply enjoy this kingdom of earth…
Imagine, everything smelling like freshly baked pie…
Realizing that you and I are hewn from the same rock…
I touch my paw to my heart.

I love you,

Annie
