To Live Like a Dog

a short poem, a realization really, about dogs

To live like a dog,
no attachment, no cares,
conscious of only that scent.

Eating when hungry,
and resting when weary,
a dog lives from that moment to that.

No need for patience,
the world is too neat,
run, run again, now sitting.

But goddamnit man,
I did it again,
I stepped where your
dog keeps on shitting.
