Poem for Mimi, my friend

please escuse this rant...its for my dog
I feel like my childhood has been stolen from me
on my birthday, Feb 24, 2006,
I don't see you on the couch anymore
i don't hear you waking up the baby
My feminist friend with teddy bear eyes, frizzy, fried silver fur that wanted to curl
but i guess had other plans
You hated men side by side with my mother, except for the few whose soul smelled alright to you....i'd never disagree with you, not once
Mom's dates were warned
your judgment was something like a god should have, but never could
I guess maybe some people called you a bad dog, but i dont care
if i can be an anti social bitch sometimes, then so can you
you loved me for eleven years
you slept on my bed every night, and we never argued once
If i could see you again, I'd buy you all the lunch meat in the world
all the cheese you could ever eat
i could tell you anything, Mimi, and now tis all gone
dad's gone, not like you, but in another way
i really tried there
i have a little baby now, i'amm all grown up
you were the only thing that never changed
And now you aren't here to reassure me anymore
I'll never forget you, I don't think things will ever be the same again
there will always be a spot for you on my bed
I love you, and I miss you
love, Lauren
