4.Conversation With A Dog
I asked my dog what he thought the best in man
He said, 'The love you dispense to me twice daily from a can.'
I said, 'Why do you think my question funny？
And where would you be without my money？'
I said, 'There may be some quality in us you must treasure.'
'It's despair,' he said, 'of which your money is the measure.'
Walk like a dog
Like anybody can
I said, 'What about our politics, philosophy, our history？'
He said, 'If there is something admirable in these it is a
mystery.'
'But there must be something in our system tell me at your
leisure.'
'It's despair,' he said, 'of which your borders are the
measure.'
Walk like a dog
Talk like a man
Walk like a dog
Like anybody can
I said, 'What about technology, computers, nuclear fission？'
'I'm terrified of radiation, hate the television.'
I said, 'There must be something in our scientific treasure.'
'It's despair,' he said, 'of which your weapons are the
measure.'
'Feed me, you can beat me. I will love you till I die.
But don't ask for admiration and don't ever ask me why.'
I said, 'Why wait till now to demonstrate displeasure？'
'It's despair,' he said, 'of which my silence was the measure.'
Walk like a dog
Talk like a man
Walk like a dog
Like anybody can
