[ How Does My Dog Know Me, So Well? ]
[ She Knows When I’m Having A Good Day ]
[ & She Can Tell When I Feel Like My Day, Has Been Dragged
Through Hell ]

[ She Seems More Affectionate, But Needy ]
[ Moving Her, So I Could Get Up, Is Not Easy ]

[ She Is (11) Years Old, But Acts Like She Is Young ]
[ When I Head For The Door, She Starts Getting, So Excited ]
[ Her Mouth Can’t Stop Her Tongue ]

[ When We Go To The Door, Her Excitement Goes Through
The Roof ]
[ But She Has To Wait For Me To Put On My Boots ]

[ I Try To Fully Open The Door Wide Enough For Her To
Go Through ]
[ She Is So Excited, That Is Something That She Won’t Let
Me Do ]

[ Once She Gets Onto The Patio ]
[ ‘Round & ‘Round She Goes ]

[ Ever Since She Was Little, She Would Never Fetch A Bone, Stick
Or Ball ]
[ I Threw Them For Her @ Different Times In Her Life ]
[ & She Refused Them All ]

[ Deer Antlers, Are The Only Things, That She Will Chase After ]
[ The Amount Of Excitement It Brings Her ]
[ Gives Me, Many Moments Of Laughter ]

[ She Runs, Really Hard ]
[ When I Throw Her Antler, In The Backyard ]

[ This Is Fun Exercise For Her ]
[ When She Feels, That She Has To Stretch Her Legs ]
[ This Is The Cure ]

[ (10) Throws Are Her Max ]
[ I Go Until Her Breathing Seems Taxed ]

[ She Always Wants One More ]
[ & She Does Not Like When I Head Towards The Sliding Glass
Door ]

[ It Is Because She Has So Much Fun ]
[ Just Doing One ]
[ But She Always Wants Another ]
[ When I Tell Her We Are Done ]

[ How Do I Look, Through Your Eyes? ]
[ Do You Think, That I Am Just One Of Those Guys ]
[ That Smiles ]
[ While Telling You, A Bunch Of Lies? ]

[ So I’m Just, A Guy ]
[ Who Tells, Lie After Lie? ]

[ Why Would You, Think That ]
[ Because You Might Think That I May Have An Allergy ]
[ To Telling You, The Needed Facts? ]

[ What, Have I Done? ]
[ To Ruin, Your Fun? ]

[ Some Say, That I Crave Trouble ]
[ But I Just Don’t Want, Resistance ]
[ Because I Live, In A Bubble ]
[ & I Never, Ask For Assistance ]

[ It Is Not Like I Think, Getting Help, Means That You Are Weak ]
[ Some Of The Words, That I Would, Have To Say ]
[ I Just Don’t Speak ]

[ I Rarely Used The (H) Word ]
[ But It Is Something That Seems To Be ]
[ The Only Words That I Have Heard ]

[ Yesterday & Last Night ]
[ Sometimes, The Word (HELP) ]
[ Causes Some People, To Start A Fight ]

[ Fighting, Against Family Or Friends ]
[ Can Go On A Long Long Time ]
[ & Having, A Bruised Ego Never Ends ]

[ Confrontation, Or Trouble, Is Not Somthing That I Seek ]
[ If That Was The Case ]
[ This Is What I Speak ]

[ People Even Think That All I Do Is Hurt ]
[ That Is Not Always True ]
[ If You Asked The Heart That Pumps Under My Shirt ]

[ I Would Give The Shirt, If Needed Or Asked ]
[ I Would Think Nothing, If Given This Task ]

(421)▪︎[ William W. … 6•21•2022 ]

[ Today’s Caregiver Is A Young Man Named William & He
Is Quite Tall ]
[ He Has A Proud & Authoritative Voice That Would Be
Heard By All ]

[ He Told Me That He Stands Tall @ 5′ 7″ ]
[ His Presence Has Him Standing @ 5′ 11″ ]

[ He Seems To Not Care Of Feet Or Inches ]
[ He Looks Like He Has Nerves Made Out Of Steel ]
[ So I Bet He Rarely Flinches ]

[ I Asked For His Last Name, So … ]
[ I Could Find A Word That Rhymes With Show ]

[ He Is A Very Young (36) ]
[ Given The Chance Or Choice ]
[ Those (2) Numbers Put Together Would Not Be My Picks ]

[ The Last State That He Lived In Before He Came Here ]
[ Was Our Neighbor Up North ]
[ He Did Not Shed A Tear ]
[ Knowing That He No Longer Had To Keep Driving Back & Forth ]

[ His Girlfriend Already Lived Here Working As An Accountant
Counting Numbers ]
[ I Bet Balancing A Checkbook Does Not Cause Her To
Slumber ]

[ William Told Me Stories About What Living In Kenya Was Like ]
[ I Don’t Think The Dominate First Name Would Be Mike ]

[ He Told Me About A Situation That Happened In A Mall ]
[ I Did Not Ask If It Happened In The Spring, Summer, Winter Or
Fall ]

[ Earlier When We Were Talking I Could Not Remember A Specific
Word ]
[ This Wasn’t One That I Have Regularly Heard ]

[ I Laughed @ Myself Because I Told Him That I Would Probably
Remember It Days From Now ]
[ The Problem Would Be How? ]

[ A Couple Of Hours Later I Remembered The Word That Should
Not Had Been Too Hard ]
[ The (2) Words Were (NATIONAL GUARD) ]

[ We Have Talked About A Wide Variety Of Subjects ]
[ I Feel That We Never Talked About Any Of Them Out Of Context ]

[ I Don’t Think That There Would Be A Subject That William Could
Not Talk About ]
[ I Am Glad That He Has A Calm Demeanor & Does Not Shout ]

[ Of All Of The States He Could Have Lived In, He Picked
This One ]
[ He Is Good Addition To Or e Gun ]

[ Where Do I Begin? ]
[ When Do I Let You In? ]

[ Why? ]
[ Should I? ]

[ When I Let Someone In, I Feel As Vulnerable As An Open Book ]
[ Just Laid Out For Anyone To Peer Inside To Take A Look ]

[ Some Give Me Sympathy ]
[ Some Give Me Empathy ]

[ Some Look Away ]
[ Some Run Away To Stay ]

[ Away For Good ]
[ Because They Misunderstood ]

[ The Message In Front Of Them ]
[ So They Choked On Their Own Phlegm ]

[ & Almost Gasped ]
[ As They Tried To Grasp ]

[ The Meaning ]
[ Because To Them, They Thought That The Message They Were
Sent Was Demeaning ]

[ Some Ran ]
[ Because They Did Not Understand ]

[ The Ones That Stayed ]
[ Felt That It Was Knowledge That They Gained ]

[ Because Is There No Such Thing As Right Or Wrong? ]
[ Weak Or Strong ]

[ If You’re Weak, Someone, From Somewhere, Will Want To Get
Over On You ]
[ Why? ]
[ Because That Is What Some People Do ]
