Sheep

you lie in the longgrass

and they come up to you

to say hi so you say it back

actually out loud

‘hiya’,

‘hello there’,

‘how you doing?’

and the sun is a furnace burning skies

and the sheep and you look at each other

and they go back to chomping the green stuff

and you go back to penning this;

and the whole deal - the world, people in it, automobiles and gas bills and stale bread and good coffee and how they try to programme your children wrong is
