When the Dogs Bite: 22nd November 2025

Let us group together all of the things

and make order in the chaotic land

to ease anxiety that nature brings

perception guided by the human hand.

three states of matter as our decrees

but confront us not with an original

for what is fire but none of these?

Flatware covers spoons and knives and forks

but not scissors, nor those sharp scalpel blades

nor utensils which do move and block our drawers

or pots and pans, for which we cupboards made.

But let us not lump "Belief in God" as one

else reasons for the wars we fight will be undone
