Dogectomy

If I’m watching my dog take a crap
Then its early morning. I say this
So you’ll know how to appreciate
The envelope of air my gut skin takes
When I heave in to scoop the crap
Up into the strategically offered
Square of plastic bag the complex
Lays out like little beetle skins of bait
For dog owners to remind themselves
Of how, just how humiliating dog
Ownership really is. If I’m bitching
About this again, and you’re sick of it,
Think that the reason I tell you is so
You’ll appreciate each clear breath.
