dogma(n)

am i the same as my dog?
we both prefer to poop
when we have to poop.

each of us enjoy 
closing our eyes
in the middle afternoon sun
and letting our bodies 
become gelatin twitches.

i think our dreams 
have the same
complexity.

give us an image
of a simple meadow
and a warm meal
taken on the run
and we will do
dog smiles.
