Arthur and I sit and talk together
I talk, Arthur ***** his head
I need to anthropomorphize him
He has no need to zoomorphize me.
Our hubris causes us to label
Condescendingly, we say animals act like us
We could never act like an animal
We would give up war, prejudice, greed,
Loving with a price.
Coveting all the earth can offer beyond our needs
When it’s all gone too far
We start to fix it all
I’ve ridden that pendulum from its apex through positive change,
Past a point of rest, rising into new problems.
That is where I jumped off
As I commiserate with Arthur seeking clarity and summation
Arthur butts up against my leg and places his chin on my leg
In his soulful eyes he gives me the answer
We’re best friends in the simplest true sense with wisdom
Of nature
