Gosto da ideia de ser físico, penso que seria útil até hoje.

A dog, like fiction
asks permission
and waits patiently.
He walks around my feet,
wagging his tail,
but I'll walk him when
I'm ready
(thank you very much).
A dog eats what I give him,
laps at my leftovers,
and then looks up at me
with round eyes
when I ignore him at bedtime.
He doesn't mind
being locked
away into a small cage.

"When I became aware [in college] of my 'wrong' experience, I chose fantasy. Convinced that I had no real experience of life, since my own obviously wasn't part of Great Literature, I decided consciously that I'd write things nobody knew about, dammit. So I wrote realism disguised as fantasy, that is, science fiction." p. 127

(Quote is approximate; I’ve seen various versions of it. I’m also not certain of the context; it may not mean what I think it means. But I like what it sounds to me like it’s saying.)
