Dog Valentine (for jd)

A less intellectual age
wouldn’t have gotten itself
into such a cognitive collision
unless that’s just its
covert purpose to set us
all upon the riddle of ourselves
that we be hunted down
by dogs bred for that purpose
the dogs of our desires
and the dogs of our reasons
who after we’ve been snared
and eaten appear again
on the streets looking
sweet and alert
quiet or asleep
like dogs everywhere
