Cute



who wants
a bucking bronco?
I don't want
to be bucked
bulls are bull
too much trouble
in their
solemnity
and their
stubbornness

I've always been
drawn to
the calf pen
Peter Pen
milk fed
big eyed
but alas
too much trouble
in their
stumbling
and their
shivering

you can't
survive on veal
Hell PETA won't let you
you can't make much
out of tenderness
and juice
and mouth watering
and time limits
tick tock
tick tock
need to
tick and
make this ride
mean something

you need
a little fight
in your animal
a little
or your muscles
are too much
tenderness
too
too much
uselessness
and you fade away
atrophied

an old rodeo clown
paralyzed
