First He looked confused by Tukarum

I could not lie anymore so I started to call my dog "God."
First he looked
confused,

then he started smiling, then he even
danced.

I kept at it: now he doesn't even
bite.

I am wondering if this 
might work on
people?

People seem to have different ideas about the centering. The poet is a Sufi.

Normally, I would think of centering as a part of teenage years of "poetry". LOL
