This happened to me today. I am sad.

Caught a puppy pug today
Shot from a laser-guided cannon of captivity
called Petopia or
Man's Best Friend Mart or
Nonneglected Animal Land

Stout-faced prison breaker rampaged on the lam
in a slalom of mall goers to my feet

Sweet salivation!

He lept to my knees,
tongue flapping like carnage
from a car accident face
Yipped like a doorhinge
Flipped like a pancake

I scooped him up from my shins
His little heart was vibrating like an old washing machine
ready to burst in puppy love all over my shirt

Freedom, at last, poor little tyke

for salvation betrayed him and kindness had failed
His eyes grew confused as I handed him over
and left him behind to be beaten.

    I don't have many hundreds of dollars to spend on him, I don't like being in jail for theft, and I'm not allowed to have dogs.

    And pugs are ugly. But not beatable.
