Horse Vision

clock reads 7 at all hours

juncos make selves known in the snow

this time dawdling

I write in horse, but I see in athapaskan

when it’s time for elevensies, the clock reads 7

what telling fortune therewith

time is a thing that gets spent, like youth, $ and desire

n/t so lovely as a cardinal against the snow

or a tree w/ fruit on it

by the time I have ceased to write this

it will already be 7

adjourned to the park

n/thing will come of n/t

starfish creak inna wood

lurid amulet w/ a fish onnit

sign reads SEVEN all day & at all hours

the dogs curse each other from afar

in dog language

when did the word corrupt begin to take on a moral cast?

horses see in wide angle, and have a much wider periphery than humans,

but with a blind spot in the very center

so if you want to be sympathetic to a horse say sucks

about those blinders

or if you want to make fun of a horse, tell them

they can’t even see whats in front of their fucking face
