Tue, 06 Jan 2026 09:00:00 -0700

Tilting at Windmills, S3, Ep. 156: A Poem with More Question Marks than Periods

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 21:00:00 -0700

On this episode, Benjamin Gorman takes you to the dog park, shares a poem, then compares it to the lack of concrete answers many of us feel in a world where the criminals are in charge of enforcing the law.

Find Benjamin Gorman here: https://linktr.ee/benjamingorman

Here’s the text of the poem:

How Does a Dog

by Benjamin Gorman

How does a dog

interpret “I’m going to miss you”

through the veil of

new vocabulary and

incomprehensible tense?

Does it sound like

“I love you” or

“I’m sad” or

“You’ve been bad”

or just

“I’m giving you attention now

and that’s enough”?

and is it

really that different

for anyone else?
