you're getting sleepy, very sleepy

the woman I used
to see
was a hypnotist
and was always putting
me under
making me do strange things.
she'd say you're
getting very sleepy,
very very sleepy,
while swinging a ticking watch
in front of me.
I did whatever she asked
me to do.
I started to open
doors for
her, buy her flowers
and rings. take her on
trips to exotic places.
I didn't pester her
for
affection when it was
obvious she wasn't
in the mood.
sometimes though for fun,
she'd make
me cluck like
chicken or bark like
a dog.
that was the mean side
of her coming out.
when we finally broke up,
she clapped her hands
together and told
me I was free to go,
but not before she made
me give her my car.
