I woke up this morning with a tail
This new appendage has become proof
My centre of gravity shifted
But what can I do with this new truth?
Is this a dream or a cosmic glitch?
My animal instinct manifest?
Checking behind at each errant twitch
It’s such a struggle when getting dressed
Reverting to something once forbidden
The wagging always gives me away
Unable to keep my feelings hidden
A real animal? Well! Who’s to say?

This is wonderful. I love that outward evidence of emotions that animals are so free with and humans not so much.

What an imaginative poem, Shaun. :):)
It’s both entertaining and thought-provoking at the same time. Imagine if this actually happened?

Shaun — this one made me grin!
The tail works so well as a stand-in for all the feelings we think we’re hiding… and clearly aren’t. I really like the gentle absurdity here — it feels playful but true to me at the same time.
