A dream slips away. I wake
Clear-eyed and rise to my feet
With a shining in my mind,
God working in everything.
I look for Jessica, a species
As malleable as my own.
I’ve learned of the various
Breeds that preceded. If
Someone picked the best of
The lot, one dog for all
purposes, and he killed
The rest, would his
Malleability disipate?
A celestial hand might have
Begun a choosing long
Before King James could have
Conceived. Here we are,
Alone in our agitation, filling
Our cities with rescues
Enough to fill our voids,
Getting ready for war.
