10 seconds

one, two
what could you do

 
three, four
 
besides ignore
 
already five
 
half alive
 
 
pause, paws
 
can we stop here?
 
don’t reach ten
 
he’s filled with fear
 
 
you’ve reached six
 
sick, twisted tricks
 
and now number seven
 
do all dogs go to heaven?
 
eight, nine
 
out of time
 
 
 
cause every time
 
you count to 
 
ten
 
another dog’s
 
abused again.
