days into nights
nights into days
patiently
I wait
for someone
anyone
to like me

an array of people
pass by
looking
petting
talking
to me
I wait

I do my antics
I strut my stuff
I sit
I stand
chest puffed out
I bark
I purr
I wait

I am homeless
no family
no master
no love
I wait

Patiently
I wait
for someone
anyone
to like me
enough
to love me
and
take me home

I dream
I wait
I am homeless
like me
love me
please

I wait
