The Revenant

 

I am the dog you put to sleep,

as you like to call the needle of oblivion,

come back to tell you this simple thing:

I never liked you — not one bit.

When I licked your face,

I thought of biting off your nose.

When I watched you toweling yourself dry,

I wanted to leap and unman you with a snap.

I resented the way you moved,

your lack of animal grace,

the way you would sit in a chair to eat,

a napkin on your lap, knife in your hand.

I would have run away,

but I was too weak, a trick you taught me

while I was learning to sit and heel,

and — greatest of insults — shake hands without a hand.

I admit the sight of the leash

would excite me

but only because it meant I was about

to smell things you had never touched.

You do not want to believe this,

but I have no reason to lie.

I hated the car, the rubber toys,

disliked your friends and, worse, your relatives.

The jingling of my tags drove me mad.

You always scratched me in the wrong place.

All I ever wanted from you

was food and fresh water in my metal bowls.

While you slept, I watched you breathe

as the moon rose in the sky.

It took all of my strength

not to raise my head and howl.

Now I am free of the collar,

the yellow raincoat, monogrammed sweater,

the absurdity of your lawn,

and that is all you need to know about this place

except what you already supposed

and are glad it did not happen sooner —

that everyone here can read and write,

the dogs in poetry, the cats and the others in prose.

wow (literally)

despite the promotional ish

for the gamers:

As far as the “Next Gen” consoles are concerned, what do you think wins, Playstation 3, Xbox 360 or Wii?

Xbox.

The Wii is cool, however I don’t think they needed to build the motion sensor into every game. Certain games don’t need it! For me the best game for the Wii is the game that comes with it, and Wii Sports. Some of those motion sensitive games are great but just because that technology is there doesn’t mean you have to use it in every game. It’s like making beat—you don’t have to use every sound in your module to make a great beat, you might just take three.

You’ve done some things on the other side of the coin, doing music for games. Is that something you’re going to be doing more of?

I’m actually talking to two companies right now. One about scoring a sports title, and the other is more of a music-themed game. But it looks like I’ll be scoring something along the lines of what I did with NBA Live and NBA Street for a different game.
