Day 24: Animal

My Animal

I feed it when its hungry

I clothe it when its cold

I calm it when its angry

(Though, that’s getting sort of old)

It sometimes looks out for itself

It breaths, it sleeps, it sweats

But does it love me, as I love it?

…I’m not taking any bets

It is said, “the mind is the body

the body is the mind”

But my body is such an animal

That the two aren’t much aligned

One day it will turn and kill me

Once I have become old

But for now I still have things to do

And its not yet so bold
