best day ever

written december 2, 2024

this poem is written from roam the dog's (perceived) perception. 

every day brand new 
short term memory & naivety make me egregiously ignorant 
& blissfully unaware 

overcome with excitement as i wake & carry out 
a routine that i do not know 
is routine 

i show jubilation outwardly without 
second thought 
to every human i encounter 
why live a life of happiness 
& have it go unnoticed? 

eat, sleep, run, play 
until the end of the day 
which is my favorite time of all 

i squeeze myself into the crevices 
amoungst everything in my world that 
i unconditionally love
& drift into dream 

my life may be short 
but everyday is truly 
my best day ever.
