dignity ain't calm, ain't bland conformity, it may be quiet, it may smile, but if you fuck with it, it's fierce.

 dignity is integrity, not fitting-in, it's honoring your own peculiar self.

a couple said, there's a group of birders up ahead who may be irate about the dog. not so, i say, they adore the dog, we come here every saturday. perfect! they say.

mister had a game leg today but we did a three hour walk and swim and what the hell at least he was happy and the pain didn't stop us. then i got us some windfall apples at open produce, then a bitch said put yer dog on a leash and i said you shut up and she said you shut up and i said you shut the fuck up and that's all we had time for.
