Louis is A Mess, by Ruth

Posted on November 24, 2023

 

 

 

 

Look at this

Almost One

and still can’t eat out of a bowl

I’ve found him on the front porch

cheeks full of kibble

staring into the middle-distance

like an idiot

She says not to worry

he’s just a guy

She’s known dozens just like him
