The Morning After
Nopar Katherine
The wet substance fell on my nose
He lowered his neck down and brushed his cheek against mine
I peered open the flaps of skin that covered my eyes
He panted and stared down at me
He smiled at me and his eyes showed the pure excitement that he possessed
Then, he barked
My dog ran off the bed and brought with him the rope of freedom also known as a leash
I reached down, cracking my, back, to pick it up and along with it a bag so I could sanitarily dispose of his waste
I put on the article that encased my feet also known as shoes
I stepped on the ground and my dog jumped to the ceiling showing his excitement that he possessed
I traveled down the stairs lugging my body and my dog followed rapturously and enraptured
I opened the door
To see what is in store
For me
In the outside world.
