      The dog lies there on my bed
      Tattered and broken
      A desk curls up snug in a corner
      And never in a million years will it be clean
      Tattered and broken
      I will never forsake him
      And never in a million years will it be clean
      The only noticeable object is a picture when I was three, smiling
      as wide as a river
      I will never forsake him
      A desk curls up snug in a corner
      The only noticeable object is a picture when I was three, smiling
      as wide as a river
      The dog lies there on my bed

      Why do you like to write poetry?

      “I like writing because it frees me to go anywhere, do anything, feel everything—to imagine a life without limitation.”
