Children, parenting, pets
They said
they would look after them
forever
the pets of his children
just as a parent
he said
he would look after his children
forever
Jake looked at the cockatiel
his son’s from ten years ago
before his son went to college
then his son moved overseas
Jake still has the bird
the bird lives in a cage
solitary confinement as punishment for flying
Jake has to clean the cage
Joan looked at the little dog
her daughter’s from ten years ago
she swore she would never
walk or groom her daughter’s dog
three years ago her daughter moved out
and got a cat
the dog has accidents in the house
regularly
Joan has to clean the crap
