Picking up on need to fall out
and widen simple kicks
Walk, talk to ground-
Conversation with ground saying,
“Where, what, do you, do you?”
Ritual external elaboration
the custom of cud chewing
“May I borrow your gas mask satchel?”
“If or when,” replied cow, “global
demilitarization occurs.”
King of the cows’
chief concern: compassion
Under weight of pressure
ground cracked revealing nothing
Simple kicks narrowed-
Returning, thoughts and dreams flourish
