things the canine wants:

a rock
a stick
a razor, fallen to the bathtub floor
the last remains of 3-D glasses previously eaten
the pin
the pencil
pen
the girl
the squirrel that jumps
the rubber toy in chunks
the chip that fell
the drop of salsa following
the piece of broken glass
that thing, you know, that twists around the ends of bread bags
the bread bag
the bread
the boy upstairs
the man inside
the book you love
the book you need to read
the article you haven't finished yet
the list you wrote and can't remember
the dental floss
the needle
some thread
the sock that's clean
the sock that's dirty
the pillow stuff
the pillow
the couch, the rug, the living room, the kitchen, closet, everything upstairs
the bee outside the window,
the cockroach scuttling under cracks
the thunderstorm
karate kids
familiar women
unfamiliar men
the thunder
earthworms
dirt
the memory of meat
the treat
that cat outside
that cat outside
that cat outside
