Black dog with white paws on a red pillow.
\nFeathered tendrils of a dream, erasing,
\nas grey dawn, fanned by rain, laps the windows.
\nStumble toward electronics to confirm the world
\nis still alive: no visible proof. Cruelty, exploitation
\nand degradation are winning the day’s big races.
\nThere’s a spike in hair products and sun glasses.
\nWorld leaders are up in arms about arms.
\nThe living have taken the dead to extra innings.
\nSomewhere a comet is passing a rocket.
\nNoise and light do the wave, eternally.
\nSatisfied with uncontrollable events,
\nthe dog sighs and dives into that pillow once again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
