Black Dog

Black Dog

there’s a black dog
a white-fanged black dog
sitting in my room
but i don’t know his name

there’s a black dog
a sharp-eared black dog
sitting in my room
there’s a black dog

but i don’t know his name
he stares at his shadow
he stares at me
a golden-eyed black dog

what do you want, dog?
what do you need, dog?
why are you here, dog?
sitting in my room?

he never answers
i think he could
i think he would
but i don’t know his name
