moreover

a word in Scripture
followed by
“the dog”
and so in a story that the name should
become
that of the family pet
and
like a conjunction
maybe held the group together

I’m
not sure

I remember the dog
and hoped that nothing bad should
happen
and I don’t know if
it did

I can’t recall the story and
maybe
I don’t want
to

if it were one of those
sad tales it seemed
good
for assigning adolescence
for
and as if
tearing bandages off of children spirits
leaving these open
to
how the air
should perform

“The Biscuit Eater,” story by James Street, film by Disney; I read a bit of the synopsis then stopped my research; I’m not sure if I desire at all to know

Luke 16:21 in the KJV, it seems—and at the moment I’d rather not look too closely at that part as well
