This One Time At Starbucks
The Pug was sitting inside a red wagon with wooden sides and plastered with stickers like ‘Doggy Power!” and “I'm a puppy at heart", and other such nonsense. Judging by that and the amount of doggy things the woman had with her, including a bag that looked a lot like a diaper bag, and the way the lady's entire universe was circling around this mutt, I'd say this was her child. She was the type of woman, who, when asked about grandkids, she'd say, "This is your grandchild."

In the face of such triumphant cruelty & bigotry, nihilism begins to look more appealing all the time. How long, dear God?
I totally agree. People are easily scared into thinking the worst, when they're told they are going to lose something. Even when plainly it was only a positive thing we were voting on. I am quite often ashamed to call myself Australian. More so today.
Great haiku! 😢 sorry about the internet! 🦇
