Thanks. Unfortunately, as is so often the case with the BBC, I wasn’t able to watch that video — the circle just kept spinning like laundry in a machine.

Would the wrong-gone wolf be Canis lupus familiaris? One theory of wolf domestication has it that the wolves domesticated the humans rather than the other way round. Also check out Human Evolution Aided by Dogs. Lovely poem.

I had already powered down the computer, gone to bed, and was drifting off to sleep when the first words of this poem passed through my mind. Ordinarily I would’ve ignored them and gone to sleep, but for once I forced myself awake, turned on the computer, and grabbed pen and paper for the first draft in bed — a far cry from my normal composition process. Anyway, your responses make it seem as if it was worth the effort. I’m glad.
