On this episode, it’s Benjamin Gorman’s birthday. Unlike the US where January 6ths reminds us all of an attempted violent overthrow of the government, in Spain it’s Dia de Reyes. There’s a big parade … on the fifth. And most of the restaurants are closed. But, on the plus side, Benjamin finds a place with one last can of Mtn. Dew!

On this episode, Benjamin Gorman takes you to the dog park, shares a poem, then compares it to the lack of concrete answers many of us feel in a world where the criminals are in charge of enforcing the law.

Here’s the text of the poem:

How Does a Dog

by Benjamin Gorman

How does a dog

interpret “I’m going to miss you”

through the veil of

new vocabulary and

incomprehensible tense?

Does it sound like

“I love you” or

“I’m sad” or

“You’ve been bad”

or just

“I’m giving you attention now

and that’s enough”?

and is it

really that different

for anyone else?
