Dog with Sharper Teeth

I’ve been barking
snarling growling snapping
at the tails of others
I’ve been feeding
off the scraps they left behind
and begging for more
maybe I’ve been whimpering
and scratching at the door
but now I’m
dog with sharper teeth
gnawing at the bones
of those you know
can only moan when bitten
chasing my own tail
a rabid dog
whose on the trail of nothing
dragged round on a leash
until I’d chewed through
no more hesitation
dog with sharper teeth
I’ve been barking
snarling growling snapping
at the tails of others
I’ve been feeding
off the scraps they left behind
and begging for more
maybe I’ve been whimpering
and scratching at the door
but now I’m
dog with sharper teeth
