When Why Not is Why



When I wonder what the hell
Existentially
Then two dogs who know me well
Explain it to me
Rising to the occasion

Quite surprisingly
Poking with their snouts until
They are satisfied
That I know they have my back
Snouts from either side
Poke positive persuasion

When they sniff despair
In the air then they attack
With absurdity
Snouts out for me everywhere

Strangely they can see
How to rearrange the scene
Change the equation
Bearing with me what I bear
Until it is gone

When they see that I agree
To see what they mean
Then two dogs and I go on
But they keep an eye
And a snout on their old guy
In the in between

Bowser me and Marisol
In a pack of three
Through the up and down of me
With me through it all

They know and show they love me
When why not is why
