Notes About The Poem

A Dog's Life

A Dog's Life

   Living in the present
is the only life to live
because uncrossable boundaries
exist between knowing what’s happening
and what is going to happen,
and an obsession with the future
can influence one’s perspective of reality
and change one’s behavioural patterns
so as to indulge in wishful thinking
while striving for impossible results.
   Life is a roller-coaster ride
of uphill fights and downhill slides.
                     ***
