We always depend on Nature to perform
as it does, and it never fails us.Never.
It's us—always us.We are fundamentally
flawed, lacking in character and willpower
to do what's needed, to do what's right.
Our pets possess a nobility lacking in us.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM

The speaker of the poem finds it remarkable that Nature never fails us, and the fact that animals, our pets in particular, possess an "instinct" for nobility that human beings lack.
