Golden Retrievals
By Mark Doty
Fetch? Balls and sticks capture my attention
seconds at a time. Catch? I don’t think so.
Bunny, tumbling leaf, a squirrel who’s—oh
joy—actually scared. Sniff the wind, then
I’m off again: muck, pond, ditch, residue
of any thrillingly dead thing. And you?
Either you’re sunk in the past, half our walk,
thinking of what you never can bring back,
or else you’re off in some fog concerning
—tomorrow, is that what you call it? My work:
to unsnare time’s warp (and woof!), retrieving,
my haze-headed friend, you. This shining bark,
a Zen master’s bronzy gong, calls you here,
entirely, now: bow-wow, bow-wow, bow-wow.

I'm appreciate your writing skill.Please keep on working hard.^^
You wrote; "the new nation would have a government separate from religion, ruling a country where its citizens were free to practice whatever religion they choose. This was the Age of Enlightenment, and the law of reason would guide the new state."
But, what if the "religion they choose" demands that others convert and follow its laws or be killed?
I've read the Quran, and it is clear to me that that is a reasonable interpretation of its requirements. There seems little room for compromise here especially since Islamists who care to, may freely establish themselves as "Imams" teaching that interpretation as a divine imperative.
I love this.....

of any thrillingly dead thing. And you?'
