Outdone
 

he tore them stitches out

like the vet predicted, and now
every happy song is about you.
Ace was the first name come up
in your search for dog names.
i am your ton of bricks now.
 
hard tellin if he would let a kitten live, 
but theres one i liked best, and you said 
then its the one we will get. 
 
i passed the blackberry whiskey, fell
asleep on the couch, and you used 
pickled bologna to train him to give me 
a kiss. goddamn if i wont unlearn a
dog his tricks. you lost your shirt 
for good the moment you put it on me.
at least you wont get it back til
we regain our innocence.
