the rescuer

this is my rescue
dog
she says,
holding him
in place
with a shiny new
leash. he only
had two more
days to live
when I plucked
him out of
the abyss.
don't try to pet
him. he bites.
I have a rescue
cat too.
but she's in
intensive
care with a kidney
problem.
I'm going to
rescue another
one if she dies
and they can't
find a kidney
donor.
my boyfriend is
still asleep. I'm
helping him find
a job.
I updated his resume
and bought
him some new shoes.
showed him
how to be more
confident.
he never sits
up straight
or looks you in
the eye. he had
bad parents, but
I'm helping him
too.
