Fresh

I fell crazy in love this morning
with a long lashed, kohl eyed
beauty. With a seductive swing
she walked purposefully alone
on delicate legs - fine boned
as china, away from the bleating crowd,
across the fertile and the fallow
in search of greener pastures.
Suddenly I knew how
all those country songs
were true, how roots
will tell and how
Vern and Sidney's Jersey heifer
could steal my heart
without even a glance my way.
