As my personal cowboy

for the day,

he will surely

let me ride his horse.

I start to climb

into his too-tall truck

but his two fingers

walk in the air.

This means

I’m to walk to school.

Turn right where flowers

big as dinner plates

grow strangely blue.

Turn left where

purple fluffy wands

arch on tall bushes

inviting butterflies.

Sweat beads plump up

on my cowboy’s upper lip.

My armpits embarrass me.

I must remember

to not raise the reins high.

We walk and walk

on a road

where the horizon

keeps extending.
