The Conversation
It always begins about three hours after
dark when most humans are asleep. Then the
barking of the four dogs on the farms
nearby commences. The voice of each dog
is readily distinguishable by his tone.
They never all speak at once. One will
begin and the others answer in turn. It's
a kind of music and it's a conversation.
But what do they talk about, what are
they telling each other? I wish I knew.
