Canis Lupus

I've had a fascination, a long-standing one
For dogs that look like they're wolves or wolves that feel like they're dogs
And I can't have any type of admiration in between

I howl and owl with both kinds, with owls that surround us unkindly at night
And the howling that I purport to owl so beautifully that I

AND I, ALONE

SCREAM AND HOWL and then temper it down
Because... who the fuck am I fooling, kind gentlepeople and unkind brutals
And fucking individuals who pretend to howl and be owls

You have no say in this matter and none of these matters
Because they don't matter to you and you're dark matter
In some sort of cosmological theory, non-luminous though I shine on you
Postulated to exist or not exist, or make verbs of words that were nouns

LIKE FUCKING OWL: was there ever a word for owling before, apart from imitating a fucking owl?

I think not, therefore am I not (thinking)?

As if my howling couldn't be construed as something a wolf like myself couldn't do.
