How do I explain something 
even my dog knows 
with absolute clarity?

I guess I’ve run 
love to the ground.
How do I go on?
How do I stay?

Like a dog
I’ll just dig in the dust
and lay down.
Is that explanation enough?

Hey Tim- good short one!
I didn't need S.2, so I cut it (like I always do). And, YES, that digging that dogs do explains things a 'hole' lot better than most people can.

On second thought, I think that the first 2 lines of S.2 are needed for context, so I un-cut them.

Thanks Mark.  Cuts you seetled on seem right to me.
