The Businessman & the Poet

A poet and a businessman were standing at the end of a long bread line. The businessman kept looking at his wristwatch and squinting toward the front of the line. The poet was observing everything—other people, puffs of cloud overhead, the texture of gravel underfoot.
The businessman said to the poet, “Ugh! Don’t you hate how much of the day is wasted waiting for things?”
The poet responded, “I’m not waiting. I’m living.”

El diablo

Magenta is a gentle dog. Because she’s a fierce barker, Ilan nicknamed her El Diablo. On a recent walk, Magenta and Leah met him and Isabella and their dogs Ziti and Dahlia. Ilan was nervous; he didn't believe Magenta would play with their two dachshunds. Surprise! The doggy trio sniffed, played and walked together. “Amazing,” Ilan announced. ”Magenta needs a new nickname. She's no longer El Diablo. She is now Cachorrita, little puppy.”

note: cachorrita is Spanish feminine for puppy.
