i can hold it until morning

when the dog was young,
and he heard
the word
car, or leash
or walk,
he'd be at the door scratching
with his paws
he couldn't wait
to get out there,
run wild
and bark.
but now,
he looks at me with those
old sleepy
eyes and says,
really?
i just went two hours
ago.
trust me, i can
hold it until morning.
