A dog

What if we stopped trying so hard? What if everyone took a day to chill (the fuck) out? What if the president had to prove he’d done the hero’s dose of LSD before inauguration? What if the people who warp this world out of its integral truth, bending it to their benefit, just for a day, stopped? What if your president got on television and said “Hey guys, here’s what’s going on. Here’s my thought process.” What if we were all as honest as your favorite dog? He’s not trying so hard. He’s needy when he’s needy and sad when he’s sad, but he’s fully happy when he’s happy–isn’t he? Dogs for president and VP and congressi. Dogs for the ‘bad guys’ we’re all supposed to fear. Dogs for jailor. Dogs for doctor. Dogs for repairmen. Dogs for mother’s and fathers and sons and daughters. Dogs for you and me—we’d be better for it; happier, healthier, and far less filled with angst.
