    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?
