October 16: At the Dog Park

At the dog park, everyone focuses

on the dogs, watching them play,

now and then asking, what kind

of dog is that, or gently intervening

if one of the dogs starts growling,

but the people never seem to growl

or bark or scream or debate things.

Everyone focuses on the dogs, and

therein lies the secret to peace on earth.

Too much nose blowing in this lovely hotel room where I wish I'd slept.
