Pets

When pets and their owners don’t mix
And the ape wants a divorce
After years of empty threats
He was resolute in his force
And now he’s above you
Was a lifetime stuck on repeat
Ape had shut off long time ago
Had to sleep had to eat
Had to watch die what was fully grown
Whimpered it’s way out
Ape stuck in motel rooms
Man’s back with his family
Whose thoughts got colder?
Whoever stays is damned to
«let's meet up at home»
Man obliges, clothes come off
Ape starts to slide it in
Whilst the man is still weeping
Ape writes a postcard
His head in another place
He gets his and rolls off
Stares up and then the man rolls away
I shoot at only things that smile down on me
Just to see if they’ll move so at least I’ll know
