Poem: Big Thoughts

Big Thoughts

So I was just sitting there thinking —

you know, big poet thoughts,

and I looked over at my dog who

was sitting and staring at me like

he was wondering what I was thinking.

Ziggy, are you self-actualized? I asked,

and he tilted his head and looked puzzled

so I asked again.

Are you self-actualized, Ziggy? And

his eyes got huge and he looked bewildered

like he was saying,

I don't know, am I?
