Y'all Look Like Your Pets

The dog-sitter,

she said that my dog looks just like me.


And,

I didn’t know what to say to that.


So I stayed silent,

but she,

she went on.


“It’s in the eyes. You guys have the same eyes.”


My big ass pitbull

has the saddest eyes,

and he is

the biggest baby.


He’s always begging,

with those sad eyes


Begging for food.

Begging for attention.

Begging for love . . .




Oh.





I see

what she was

was

saying

now.
