Like a well fed dog
you skinny up on the porch
Fearing winter
Wrapping fingers
around the neck(s) of others
Guarding what is not yours
Keeping me from 'owning' up
to anything.

A good piece of writing here. And the reader can read deeper into this. There is anger within the words and the imagery is good. Keep writing.

how interesting. what i get from this is probably not what it is. i know that already. i feel like it's about someone who bickers and makes the speakers life miserable without having the right to do so... and i feel like the title "rent" suggests that the speaker feels rented to this never-satisfied person...
i don't know.
