Beautiful Girl
In a market. I hear voices heard on the next isle.
"We can go home now if you keep being bad"
A small voice speaks. Little mouse. Mumble, mumble, (I paraphrase). "But I am small and you are not listening"
"We will stop this now if you keep acting like a brat"
"Ok. I was just…."
Mouse voice requests an audience. Mumble, mumble, (another paraphrase)"I just thought about this thing and hoped you would have a conversation about it, with me."
They appeared at the end of the isle
The small one was shorter than a yard stick
Wearing a pretty black dress with white collar
Her hair in classic ponytails
dual curled ringlets
And nice shoes
The big one looked to be just under the length of two yard sticks
"We should go now, because of your behavior"
I asked myself,
"How can one so polite, so small be so powerfully bad?"
Being Famous
If you are so famous that people want to hear you speak,
Remember that they could never hear you speak
without the lady who clipped a tiny microphone
onto your collar
They could never hear you speak without
people sitting in chairs
sorting diodes and component parts
that make microphones
They could never hear you speak without
Children digging in mines
For special metals
that create diodes
microphones, speaking devices, radio receivers, antennae, dials and switches
Lone Cowboy
You could never be the Lone Cowboy
without a horse to ride
You could never be the Lone Cowboy
if no one saw your silhouette against a setting sun
You could never be the Lone Cowboy
without someone to weave the cloth of your shirt
You could never be the Lone Cowboy
without the cows who die for your fancy boots
I eat them
Cows
