Mother doesn't want a dog.
Mother says they smell,
And never sit when you say sit,
Or even when you yell.
And when you come home late at night
And there is ice and snow,
You have to go back out because
The dumb dog has to go.
Mother doesn't want a dog.
Mother says they shed,
And always let the strangers in
And bark at friends instead,
And do disgraceful things on rugs,
And track mud on the floor,
And flop upon your bed at night
And snore their doggy snore.
Mother doesn't want a dog.
She's making a mistake.
Because, more than a dog, I think
She will not want this snake.

All my life to pretend this world of theirs is mine
And to know such pretending is disgraceful.
But what can I do? Suppose I suddenly screamed
And started to prophesy.
No one would hear me.
Their screens and microphones are not for that.
Others like me wander the streets
And talk to themselves.
Sleep on benches in parks,
Or on pavements in alleys.
For there aren't enough prisons
To lock up all the poor.
I smile and keep quiet.
They won't get me now.
To feast with the chosen—that I do well.
