Could you have a little chat
With a hungry hyena
Or a prowling cheetah?
Would you say“Good to meetya?
”Before he’d eatya?
When a pack of dogs
Spends years
To burrow countless lairs
From which to pounce
At you
With ferocity
Complicity
Would you stroke their ears?
Would you try to stop them
With your tears?
Would you dare?
Would they care?
