how else to get love
disguised as approval
in those clingy early years
do what you’re told
and the spigot would stay open
nothing like baths of soothing words
after our dog Chips I was
the best well-behaved pet
in the Hunter family
now I’m quite a bit more feral
and fun and enjoy poking others
and myself with humor
I discovered that’s one great
disguise that love uses -
a quick wit
it’s like knocking
on a stranger’s door
with a ball and saying
Hi - wanna come out and play?
