is pet a doing-word

The poster read: seeking pets

But the wording wasn't clear, is pet a doing-word here?

So what, I bet that if you held me over water, I would start swimming too

But only to be held a little longer, while I have you

And the thing is that it's cute

I'm not the one who cringes 

And unironically, I think

It's important!

And the thing is, that I try

Learning how to ask

how to unmask

If it's only puppy love

Why don't you give it away

It's not like I'm hungry, it's not like I'm

getting greedy

It's like I'm opening up a wealth of wishes inside

Opening up, yep

Well if it's only puppy love

What gave it away?

Was it the tendency to go astray?

Expanding usually means loosening up, yep

I like to twist the plastic bag, I know just how to do it right

The knots behind my shoulder blades I only knew them tied

So I put on the collar

but it started to choke me after a while

The bell can tell what state I'm in

when the collar comes off, the saturation already did begin

So I bought a book and read it and I liked it and I left it

I'm not trying to collect books and pen-pals and options and sex is optional and friendship is optional but god, is nothing ever optimal?

Sucks to be an animal that only knows knowing

Only when I close my eyes I feel that I am going 

The vision isn't clear, are roles a game that's played here,

or just that thing we use to steer?

Punishment and hierarchy are outside-in things, in my ears

I wonder if I'm getting near

A dog can lie down in the middle of the party and just listen and be surrounded by the voices

A dog is allowed to participate socially in this way

Riding in the bicycle basket of life, oh my

Walking in the city is a mixed bag, and who really wants to get to the bottom of someone, just to find that there is no bottom and the person is incomplete?

What a project to be, it couldn't be me

A cat is allowed to lie down all day

And that's exactly what it's supposed to be doing, and I appreciate it so much:

Just radiating 

A dog is an animal but tamed but still an animal

A dog is allowed to want things

I said: if I was a dog, I wouldn't have to worry, and I'd simply go to brunch

And I would greet the strangers,

and they'd understand when I spoke dog

And when I walked away they wouldn't read into my actions, cause they'd know they never had me

Humans try to own each other

You understood me better on that day

One time, you said: it's no wonder you didn't feel like a human when people didn't treat you like one

I feel lucky and so I am lucky, but if you held me over water, I would start swimming, you would too

The timing's right because I tried, I met one at the fair

I like to twist the plastic bag, and tie the rope secure but lightly

The knots behind my shoulder blades I only knew them quietly

Well If it's only puppy love

Why don't you give it away?

It's like I'm hungry, it's like I'm needy,

And I've never felt so full of wishes

I've never felt so full 

Well if it's only puppy love

What gave it away?

I must have let it slip along the way

Expanding usually means loosening up, yep

We made up things, like

when we say goodbye, we make a date for next time

And I'm unashamed, and I'm afraid, and I'm okay

and I create an un-secret language and we speak it together and it's not done, and it's not over yet
