Day 1
A daughter picks a puppy from the street,
brings it home.
the younger brother jumps with joy,
the mother walk out to the porch.
It’s a Bitch
So what ?
It will bleed.
No it won’t.
It will.
Alright, it will.
So what ?
It isn’t a proper dog.
We will need chains the mother says.
And a kennel,
Especially during her days.
Father comes home,
“It’s a bitch” he says.
They chain the bitch.
Day 2
The bitch is gone,
The daughter cries.
Her brother cries.
Day 3
The house is quiet
The children are sad.
The mother is sad
because her children are sad.
The father goes to sleep.
Day 4
Father picks a puppy from the store,
Brings it home.
The younger brother jumps with joy,
The mother walk out to the porch.
—
It’s not a bitch.
