Yappy Dog
A nearby neighbor has a snappy, yappy dog,
when it's put outside it barks non-stop.
It does not necessarily bark at people,
or cats or dogs or birds or anything - no,
it barks at the world. It just barks at the world,
not the sky or the ground, not anything specific
just the planet,
just the whole damn world and everything in it.
It barks all day long, then it howls.
It kind of reminds me
of me.
