(when i see how they live)
i wish i was a dog
i'd trade my freedom in an instant
for someone to feed me on the regular
and insist that i'm the best thing they've ever seen, ever
i'd swap intelligence for obedience
to be someone's best friend,
without the complications that make us human
handshakes, headaches, taking 2 hours to wake up
when you can't work out
if it's worth it
i'd play fetch with an actual stick,
instead of the trickery
of a romantic relationship
swap clothes for constant nakedness,
knowledge for tastiness
and scooby snacks for knowing you.
if i had to, i'd give it all up -
love, lust, impossible loss
if i could only,
be a dog
