Some Reasons Why The Dog Is Chasing Its Own Tail Poem by RIC BASTASA

it could be that there is a flea at the end of its tail
and it is wanting to remove it

it could be that it simply wants to call your attention
the way you laugh
and it simply wants to please you

it could be that he is a chaser by nature
instinct, its history of chasing sheeps and foxes
in the farm in the forest

or it could be something else
beyond our comprehension
because we have not been dogs
for once
