Woof
i was a
dog with
a cape so i
thought i must
have some sort of
super powers because
why would
i have a cape
placed around my
neck if i were a simple
dog with simple abilities
so it's up to me to figure out
i tried
jumping
as high as
i could but i
wouldn't say i
flew for even i knew
i didn't
so it wasn't
but doesn't the
effort imply that at
least i tried and since
i did isn't that more then
some have
done but i did
try another thing
thinking maybe this is
what what i was meant
to be super at but maybe not
as a
power
but just
take the cape
and run and run un
til i began to pant and
drool at
her feet and
she would pet
the top of my head
and wiggle her toes in
my slobber not bothering
to
shame
me but say
these words to
me scratching my ear
good boy you're such a good
boy
