René Who?
DESCARTES’ DOG
Pity the dog
of René Descartes.
Spoke no French
and thus had no heart.

No Kisses
No Kisses

no licks, no sniffs
no happy faces, nobody to need me
no soft fur, no sweet smell
no love, no kisses
no collies

Talking to Yourself/Woman’s Best Friend
When you set up a new blog, you feel a bit as though you are talking to yourself. That isn’t all bad. After all, isn’t that why we have dogs? Here’s a poem that may be related:
WOMAN’S BEST FRIEND
Dogs love the sound
of our voices.
That’s why they’re
woman’s best friend.

Genetic Engineering
Genetic Engineering
We engineer our beloved breeds
to suit human standards
of form and taste,
never knowing, or not caring
that health and strength
have a special beauty
and carry their own genetic code.
