i can in minutia see how someone could confuse grooming with dog keeping 
this however is quite haunting. i know adults who are still as pets due to such horrible actions. the I don't like couplet shows the lack of emotion i can only presume doesn't exist. what really hits home with the piece is the ownership of the child by the adult and the brazenness and pride shown. a horrible poem indeed but a good one. no in-depth as it strikes a chord in me. if i dwell on the pem it elicits a tear or two.

I don't
but I'm cradling
that belief—
it'll make touching her easier
she's nine but smells like thirteen—
strawberry Lip Smackers
and Love's Baby Soft perfume—
the shit parents gift their budding daughters
to mask the musk of first periods
I don't like em young
I don't like anyone
but I can get her
to perform on command
like she's hypnotized—
I snap my fingers
and smile
as she heels to me
—such a good girl—
I love to watch her
run
