enter the material that makes up all of us
something peculiar is happening to those carbon molecules
after an endless span of time
this was bound to happen, and also was never
statistically significant
everything we know has an equal chance at existing
and being infinite nothing and not existing
what makes all life, against all odds,
has prevailed to bring us a message
"hello! In about 3 billion years
you will evolve into probably the greatest creature
in the known universe
a dog"

single cells forming
from select forms of
compounds will sublimate
others will congregate
specialize based on fate,
or some random event
billions of years dictate
if you'll be a bone or face
whisker or wagging tail
who knows what this will entail?
all together we form a little
sphere of potential

time spans
five fingered hands have a hand in
making the companion of man
or an extension
soon you will be digging holes
for the bones that are not your own
you have grown out of necessity and
to our luck
you'll be someone’s
best friend
desperately needed
you will mean everything to them
loyal to the end
you'd die for them
hmmm i am sensing you are almost
fully grown and ready to be
thrust into the infinite
and seemingly endless
world we live in
it is almost time

Hold On

hold on
i can tell you cannot stand
the overwhelming light in
your eyes
soon you'll be the light
in someone's life
i am sure you'll have a lot
of questions
(why am i here)
i'm not sure i can answer them
(what kind of sorcery is this)
i am sure you'll have a lot
of questions
(why am i here)
experience will surely answer them
(specifically in a state when)
guaranteed once
i can feel
what you call blades of grass on my four
what you call paws and i can't
explain the way it makes me yearn for more
light upon my coat holds tight
pressure on my paws and the walks outside
dirt bath bliss
roll around
what is this what is it on about
what is this?
the joy is viscous and divine
scent sensations echo in my mind
you are of a different kind
intentions purely undefined
i know that when i'm with you
i'm up for anything
as long as the anything's
like everything i've seen
a day serene and sweet
ending with my head between my feet
there’s no time to ask you why
forever for now, goodbye

come back
yay!
i'm so glad that you're home
where did you go?
i don't know why i am
Getting so emotional i barely even
(don't freak out, i am back)
know who you are, and still can't
stand to see you go
well we're here now
and it's time to say
what i've been thinking for
what seems like an eternity
why do i falter
when you are farther
from me?
i can't understand
why i can simply not
get enough after this short
time we've spent together
i can't understand these words
you're speaking and not to
take away from the fact that they
are music to my ears
i can’t understand why you
would ever choose someone like me
i am confused yet grateful
and enthused
because of you i've been given a
life is only so potent
i can't ever repay you
again, thank you

on account of the
onslaught of the
beams eclipsed by tufts of white
i propose
we should go
on a ride where my sight and smell go wild
the park, the park, or the other park
i am quite fond of the other park
go retrieve the leash i always nibble on
met with equal parts frustration and a sigh
of disarmament; i'm just so darn cute when i do it
when will i find the friend who went in this spot first?
when will i finally meet you?
when will i have to go home?
the edges of the day have smeared
and i will wait here

time spans
a dozen spins and you
seem like you're tired
but then you hear those magic words
"who's my good boy?"

'Tis I! The Good Boy!

tis i the good boy
boy it’s such a sight to see
all my loved ones gathered round me
suspicious as it may seem
paired with your looks of worry,
i'm still happy!
thank you all for coming!
to what, i'm still learning;
what do you mean i was shaking?
shaking, seizing
these words hold no meaning
why are you crying?
did i do something?
hurt you i would never
i'm trying to remember but everything was black
"you were someone's best friend; mine."
what do you mean, "were?"
you can't mean
no

i know what you're about to say
and yes, i want to stay
and now the look that's on your face
is not at all
encouraging
not at all comforting
this table is too cold for me
i am starting to worry
i don't want to leave your side and
i just want to go outside but
will i ever get up from this uncomfortable table?
when will my body give up
funny, that much i'm sure it's able
i can't stand the thought of being here one minute and the next i'm
gone
"in his final minutes we want to make sure he's comfy"
is that really the last words i"ll ever hear?
the last sight, your eyes filled with tears?
"we won't forget you"
a bright light and endless shapes
it's overwhelming
good

bye
transported
i left my friends, i left my body, what’s happened?
and am i dead? or did i ever
exist at all?
something tells me no
memories fading
you did exist. you did and you do
atoms are far away from where they used to be
you used to be
one wouldn't call you dead
you're just less organized than you used to be
you were the greatest friend they ever knew
while you may not remember anything,
all of their lives were forever changed by you
while they will not forget a single thing
but i digress
you are here now
and i must reintroduce you to
the carbon molecules
the material that
makes up all of us
