Neutral

By M. Jay Mansfield

I watch them
They dance psychotically
One looming large
The other cowers upon demand
Each time he cowers his eyes glow brighter
Master calls down a new command
And the other rolls and jumps on cue
The master laughs and calls my name
So I lean in to watch
I see this a thousand times a day
Why must I be a part of this
Do it quick and the pain will stop for now
C’mon cur do it so I can leave
I’ve got no part in your pity games
Do it like you’ve begged for
Masters finally called your bluff just do it
So I can walk off and back to my life
Yes I sit here everyday
I watch masters and pets come and go
I really don’t care who wins
Let the blood fall where it may
I really don’t care to step in
Let them play all they want
They always end where they begin
It really is no business of mine
