Dog Tribes of the New Fade

with so much stimulation available in the New Fade
there's a wicked temptation to react much the way a dog does,
with much enthusiasm but without really thinking about
what exactly you're doing or way, a happy slave to sensation

i'm not saying that there's anything particularly wrong about this
or that dogs should be judged negatively for this behavior,
because they are among the most charming creatures in the world
and that's exactly why they make such good companions

but people aren't dog
and maybe it's time
we try and learn that
over again
and try being people again
so that we can have a little
restraint

yes, it's great to be excited and to express that excitement
but to stop and think about it is not such a bad thing,
to consider things rationally instead of jumping forward
with too little critical thought given to the situation

people are capable of moderating themselves
and don't need to follow base instinct, much less the rest
of the pack, and yet that's exactly, in small pockets,
the behavior that the New Fade breeds

in bizarre and amusing ways;
that's all i'm saying;
please don't be
offended; it's
fascinating
anthropologically,
and that's good, too!
