“Drive down any road,

take a train or an airplane
across the world, leave
your old life behind,

die and be born again~
wherever you arrive
they'll be there first,

glossy and rowdy
and indistinguishable.
The deep muscle of the world.”

“We meet wonderful people, but lose them
in our busyness.

is more about dogs than about us.
One of the reasons we love them so much.”

came up to me many times and said
so many wise and delectable things,

on the grass listening
to his dog voice,
frog voice; now,
he said, and now,
and never once mentioned forever

from, One or Two Things”
