Companion poem for chapter 11 of the R.M. Dolin novel, "Trophic Cascade"
Read chapter
It’s an interesting thing,
the way behaviors change
when a group is formed.
Those once capable of
great thought
and objective analysis,
forgo even trying
to think for themselves
as they listen only to
the call of the wild
and yield to
their inner instinct.
From the R.M. Dolin novel, “Trophic Cascade.” A pack of wild dogs attack Jake and Sympatico and in the ensuing bloody battle, things don’t end well for the dogs…or for Quando.
