Some people are ugly little brutes who know so and feel
gross and dirty and do their best to spread their self-disgust. Some people
distrust before the lie. Some people are brown from the inside out. They’re
small and dumpy and expect nothing kind. They are down and stepped upon and kick
from below. Some people hiss like snakes and snap like gators and tear and
bloody small shreds of kindness thrown their way with
the tiniest of hope that it will make a difference.
It doesn’t.
Some dogs are just dogs and those poor things have been
starved and never found their own food and they suck the life out of what they
see. Especially when it’s beautiful, or juicy.
