the elephants do their dance
and you know that it’s your time
how they’re dancing for you
how they’ve painted their names
how they’ve polished their pokey things
and you’re just sitting back and letting
the bump of their girth
flop you out of your
chair with each move
flop you out
onto the dance floor
and you’re thinking
I’m dancing
and it’s effortless.
Look at me.

a new study shows that children who grow up with pets in the home have a reduced risk of developing common allergies.

i was born allergic to pets, which negated this anti-allergy paradigm for me, but it’s not too late for your chillins.
“We call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do not suffer less because they have no words.”
