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
