Poetry and Coffee | Poem

I dreamed there were long
lines of people who
had died and were waiting
impatiently.
I asked what they were waiting for
and one told me
'To be born again as an animal'.
I discovered
one very long line
was for being reincarnated
as a dog.
It seems they had yet
to learn
unconditional love."
