Why do I have a dog?
I have a dog to remind me of the moon
I have a moon to remind me of nightswims
and I have nightswims to remind me of Adam and Eve
and I have Adam and Eve to remind me of the science of presentation of vulnerability
and I have that science to remind me of good luck and bad luck
and I have good luck and bad luck to remind me of what is written
and I have what is written to remind me of envelopes
and I have envelopes to remind me of fingerprints
and I have fingerprints to remind me of toeprints
and I have toeprints to remind me of the tickled brain
and the pickled train and the wicked rain and the speckled chickens and King Arthur and the big fuzzy lips of cows when they are undulating and the figgy pleasures of calculation and the halfglimpse and the sudden go
and that's why I have a dog.
