dedicated to puberty
(when we walk, my dog, walk me)

eleven (i’m)

jealous of the arm that
falls asleep faster
& of whoever it’s
now calling master

twelve

jealous of the time they
are spending together
quick to leave me in the
absence of fair-weather

thirteen

but i myself have a someone
i keep up waiting
my significant other one
i keep rotating

fourteen

& it is whenever my arm
loses itself sleeping
when it is back in her bed that
i find myself creeping

fifteen

arm that falls asleep talk me
into bed to help muse faster
when we walk, my dog, walk me
to show me who is whose master

sixteen

how anything gets done when
you are around is all a wonder
& when is all the time when
you are not helping put me under
