                  The Field


                  Don't you envy them in their eagerness, the dogs
                  plumed and joyous on the green field,
                  who hold no opinions, who find nothing right or wrong,
                  for whom everything simply is— 

                  dirt, muck, tangle— 
                  and all of it is good?
                  O to have no one thing we crave above all others
                  but to inhale it all, 
                  when the gods let us slip the leash.
