[00:00.324]Iggy Pop -A Machine for Loving
[00:13.139]Two weeks after my arrival Fox died just after sunset
[00:21.768]I was stretched out on the bed when he approached
[00:24.357]And tried painfully to jump up he wagged his tail nervously
[00:31.806]Since the beginning he hadn't touched his bowl once
[00:36.829]He had lost a lot of weight
[00:40.528]I helped him to settle on my lap
[00:43.465]For a few seconds he looked at me
[00:47.09]With a curious mixture of exhaustion and apology
[00:53.41]Then calmed he closed his eyes
[01:00.473]Two minutes later he gave out his last breath
[01:07.173]I buried him beside the residence
[01:10.266]At the western extremity of the land
[01:13.51]Surrounded by the protective fence
[01:16.148]Next to his predecessors
[01:19.282]During the night a rapid transport
[01:22.368]From the Central City dropped off an identical dog
[01:27.78]They knew the codes and how to work the barrier
[01:30.426]I didn't have to get up to greet them
[01:33.412]A small white and ginger mongrel
[01:35.644]Came toward me wagging its tail
[01:38.530]I gestured to him
[01:40.455]He jumped on the bed and stretched out beside me
[01:47.73]Love is simple to define
[01:49.962]But it seldom happens in the series of beings
[01:55.886]Through these dogs we pay homage to love
[02:01.816]And to its possibility
[02:06.730]What is a dog but a machine for loving
[02:12.394]You introduce him to a human being
[02:15.937]Giving him the mission to love
[02:20.242]And however ugly perverse
[02:24.936]Deformed or stupid this human being might be
[02:31.427]The dog loves him the dog loves him
