Don't Look, Mom!
Even good boys have "ruff" days!
Don’t look there, and don’t look now!
Imagine things are fine, somehow.
Sit down and let me warm your feet!
Tell me, was your day complete?
Read in my eyes how much I adore you,
Avoid the kitchen, I implore you!
Cream and oil were my bath,
Tasting sugar made me laugh!
In my fluff I rolled the flour!
Oh, the honey took an hour!
Never knew the sticky joy – but will you still call me “good boy?”

The Longest Minute
A minute. Sixty seconds to say goodbye. That’s all the time that I had left with him as the needle slid into his leg. I stared into his drooping eyes, looked at the blood-tainted saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth. They said that this was the best thing that we could do for him, a last kind act for a best friend…but if that were the case, then why did my heart feel so heavy?
