Pink Dog

This poem confuses me but intruigues me. I believe it's about a person outcasted in society because of their looks. The pink dog symbolizes this person. The harsh diction paired with ugly or degrading adjectives leads me to believe it's a person outcasted in society. However, a lot of it confuses me. This poem makes me want to know what it's about so bad! The figurative language and the adjectives used to describe the dog stand out to me and make me think about the person it's describing. It also leads me to believe the speaker is compassionate for him or her.
