I got this new job that kicks me in the shins every day with "Look how sick the world is" and I leave it feeling emptied like a balloon after hours with a small leak. I spend my days breathing life into people who are mostly more than willing to let me do it for them but then there's the one who says thank you, the one who cries when I tell her she's smart and the one who realizes this stuff matters.
I got this dog who wakes me up with a paw to the face and when she's excited can't handle her jumping and tries to kill squirrels but I see her moments of instinctual clarity when she knows to be still as a flock of geese fly overhead or on a clear night when she almost seems to be looking for the same astral patterns as my human eyes.
That's what's going on, I guess.
