Zen Dog Tricks

     "Don't roll over," says Silvio.
     Cuchulain sits on the redwood deck overlooking Santa
Cruz.
     "Good dog!" says Silvio, tossing him a rice cake. "Now,
don't play dead."
     Cuchulain looks at him. His eyes sparkle.
     "What a good boy! Now, Cuchulain, don't shake hands."
     Cuchulain wags his tail and drools. Silvio's Birkenstocks
get wet.
     "Now, Cuchulain, just be."
     Cuchulain is.
     Silvio calls David Letterman.
     The line is busy.
