Peering Out Over The Frozen Lake
I Think To Myself,
‘Can This Really Be’
All These Dreams I Dream
Become Everything I Hate To Be
My Vision Slowly Fades
Blurred N Grey
From The Corner Of My Eye
I Sense A Large, Brown Buffalo Coming My Way
Its Dreded Fur Hangs
With Mud N Sticks Hanging Between Its Legs
Its Long White Horns
Stare Me Down,
I Feel So Innocent, So Small
Beside A Monster That Tall
4,000 Pounds I’m Told
That Monster Weights
So Quickly I Walk
Away From The Beast
A Quick Fifteen Steps
And I Feel Bad, Sick
In Mid-Sixteenth Step
I Think Aloud,
‘I Ran, I Ran From A Suffering Cow’
Matted Hair With Dreds Of Shit
And Now, I Think Into My Page
Empty Thoughts I’ve Had The Past Twenty Days,
I Feel I’m A Lonely Cow
Wondering To Myself,
You Don’t Even Know How
There Are Many Things I’ve Thought
But Never Have I Tried To Take Them For What They Are
And All I Can Think Of
A Better Friend
I Miss Them
I Miss Me With Them.
Now, Lay Around All Day Drinking Coffee
Yesterday I Call A Friend
She’s Having Fun
Drinking Back Drinks
Of Beer, Wine, Whiskey
Loathing That Very Thing
Quick Thoughts Galvantically Rush Into My Brain
Migraine!
Another Thought, Philosophy
Empty I Am
I Lay Suffering On This Couch
With A Black Cup Of Coffee Fisted In My Palm
My Head Spins In Extremes
This, That, You, Me
Again! Again! I Am The Suffering Buffalo
I Am The Suffering Buffalo!
My Head Matted ‘Gainst This Damn Pillow
Over Heated Bedroom And A Will To Show
Blank Stares From The Elder Man, Jim
Talks Meaningless Nothing
Day In Day Out
And I Contiune To Feel Bad
A Wet, Empty Rotting Cow
Starved All Winter N Spring
These Thoughts
Finally Make Sense
I Am!
I Am!
The Damn Suffering Cow
