a member of the pack turns their head to me,
they smile,
their eyes gleam simple recognition,
their lips curve up and
bulge tremendously of
lipstick,
they tear my flesh apart with their suppressed canine teeth and
foam all over my fauceted blood,
let loose let loose
finally I am let loose
to scream and throw seizures like daisies at
the horde,
to flow uninhibited
no longer bored,
but I feel frowning
drowning me
in disapproval

now I know
how to swim
