TRAINED ME TO RUN


Your beautiful, sleek, strong, and lustrous black dog
Looks like you.
Your eyes alight in more than 40 ways, each rich and
authentic even when insincere.
You and I fit snugly, more intimate than the properly tailored
suit weâre supposed to wear. Through the years, youâve trained me to run. You donât know this.
Now you say itâs time to take your seriously. Now.
Now was three months ago too.
Tell me when now is and tell me with eyes authentically sincere.
You won me.
