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?
