The poem "Two Dogs: A Study in Canine Contradictions" explores the complex and often paradoxical nature of canine relationships when two dogs are in close proximity. It highlights how they might display antisocial behaviors, such as a lack of cordiality, constant barking, and an aversion to physical touch. Despite these individualistic tendencies and an apparent need for human attention, the poem concludes by revealing a deeper, underlying bond of unwavering loyalty and protective friendship between the two animals.
Two Dogs
Two dogs next to each other
are rarely cordial
and do not play together.
Two dogs next to each other
are rarely quiet
and bark all day.
Two dogs next to each other
are rarely spooning
and prefer not to touch at all.
Two dogs next to each other
are attention-starved
and beg shamelessly for petting.
Two dogs next to each other
are best friends
and will always protect each other in the end.
