[madscenes]

we are first in men's pride

once a little dog looked at me
sadly made me feel
that I could think and speak freely

insignificant actions
forbidden
to have any feelings of our own

skeptical lighthearted
extravagance

I loved you instantly
as much as I loved my dog
if men knew what they could win
with one tear

we would not be last in their esteem
