OK. So moving targets aren’t my strong suit. These shots of Coco still make me laugh though – and warm my heart!



Coco dreams of a mommy
with indestructible arms.
Legs immune to canine incisors,
hands slathered in creamy Jif,
her eyes blind to his sniffs and squats.
A mouth that never says NO.
But Coco needs love too.
Mommy’s gentle arms to hold him,
coaxing little puppy dreams:
Wild romps through fresh cut grass.
Good Boys! at every street crossing.
Her eyes wide open to his endearing ways.
Her heart forever taken,
their bond never to be broken.
I want.
What?
What’s that I crave?
What will content me?
The sun shines.
Pieces fall into place.
The world – my world – runs in an orderly fashion.
And I’m good.
It doesn’t
and I’m not.
