a very short parable

photoI just got a puppy. It thinks it’s a grown dog but it isn’t. It thinks it is much bigger than it is. Such is the lesson I have learned.

      Is it a full-blooded pug? That’s what it looks like. I have a pug. They’re the best kind of dogs.

      It’s a pughuahua or chug. It’s an xmas gift for my parents.

      We gave my in-laws a puggle. The pug blood makes them great companion dogs.

      Is the puppy’s name Parataxis?

      Lily, that pup is adorable—not to mention indeed very short! Are you considering naming it “Parable”? (I love you.)

      Your puppy is so cute and look at that little alien head.

      That’d be next level. I’ve been thinking of naming her Penelope. Penny, for short, destinying her to a life of toil while she waits for me to war and return – insert some metaphor for the academic life here – but she will be faithful to me. I can’t even give a proper xmas present without ruining everything.

      If you named her Parataxis, you’d need to get another one, so you could sit them side by side. (Either one on either side.)

      If she were bad, still, she’d come back to you. When you went to the bathroom, there she’d be. Every time you put her off for later, later, there she’d be. As often as you asked somebody for their idea, she’d be security for the loan. When something suddenly occurred to you, trickle boom! When you committed to something, you wouldn’t be trifling.

      When you cleaned her, she’d shine.

      Even when she pissed and shat and yapped and chewed, she’d be otherhow celestial.
