erin said mister looked sad. i said that's just his face. i wonder if they say that to themselves about me. if they said it to me, would i say, it's just my face? even if i am sad? sometimes he does seem sad. he might be in meditation. he might have some ache. he might be dreaming. he might be ruminating on the sadness in the elements that make up the world. he might be sad about us. sometimes he may simply be sad and he may not know why, like me, sometimes i'm just sad. we don't have to explain why we're happy. we just are. and we are. happy too. but there is a sadness in this world a smile won't hide.
when i finally got him to emerge from the black lagoon yesterday you shoulda seen him, he was the face of happiness, complete sensual immersion, radiant in algae green. 
copp will be spanky clean today. i mo rub a dub him. he may look sad standing under the warm shower head. he may look immersed in sorrow, but when he emerges he will do a towel dance. you shoulda seen him coming out of the black lagoon covered in green. 
i wonder if they said about people what they feel free to say about dogs, would they say, oh, he looks so sad? you should see him all clean.
