Paradise Is
...where animals communicate
in ways we don't anticipate.
…where all their many words are heard
and they can make us feel absurd.
…where they will have the self-same rights
as lowly humans in their "heights".
…where they don't have to bend heads low,
put on a base and servile show.
…where dogs can frolic without chains,
horses are free from chafing reins.
…where no species is endangered
and each can live in its own herd.
