# Poems Bathroom I sit down and pee and you come and drink from the bathtub faucet and I pet you. You drink from the bathtub faucet and I drink from the sink faucet. I drink from the bathtub faucet feeling happy to do like you. I stand in front of the mirror and brush my teeth and you come in and lie down with me so we can keep each other’s company even in this. I enjoy when we have chance to share our bathroom together. I’m happy that you seem to enjoy it too. Factual Dog Status Awareness Sometimes I am very aware that I’m dating a dog. That the person I’m kissing, Whose tongue is exploring the depths and corners of my mouth, Is a dog. That the person I’m spooning with, Holding and embracing their soft furry weight Against my naked stomach and arms and legs and balls and hard on, Is a dog. That the person I’m cooking food for, That the person I take ticks off of, That the person I let outside to pee and poop, Is the person I’m dating And that person is a dog. Every time I think of it, I am reminded of how lucky I am. Ambiguously Grammatical “Pet a dog with a boner.” A misplaced modifier that, to be fair, sounds like a good time either way. Not All The Time Of Course But Sometimes Dogs have sex sometimes, They totally do. Don’t believe it, Research where puppies come from. Couplet Suck a dick, bust a nut Have a fun night with your mutt Yet Another New And Happy Morning Today I woke up in a white dress I had bought and worn the night before (I have a penis) and I snuggled a dog (he has a penis). We hung out and then when I had to pee I went to the bathroom and did that and cupped both of my hands together towards the end and caught some of the last of it and had a sip, as much as I had caught. I had taken off the dress at some point, probably right before the piss thing. I washed my hands with soap and water twice and then me and my dog went on a walk after I changed into jeans and a girl shirt with a zipped up, comfortable, nice looking grey sweatshirt over the top. We took the route that my dog decided he wanted to go on that morning while I had piss on my breath (my dog drank some water before we left). When my dog took a shit I picked up what he had dropped because it keeps the parks a nicer place. I dropped the disposable bag of dog crap into a trash bin that I found before we went back inside. Inside I drank a glass of water and my dog ate a bowl of dry dog food and wet dog food mixed together for breakfast. New days, new combinations of old things. Live well and live free.
