cows in art class
\ngood weather
\nis like
\ngood women-
\nit doesn’t always happen
\nand when it does
\nit doesn’t
\nalways last.<\/p>\n
man is
\nmore stable:if he’s bad
\nthere’s more chance
\nhe’ll stay that way,
\nor if he’s good
\nhe might hang on,
\nbut a womanis changed
\nby
\nchildren
\nage
\ndiet
\nconversation
\nsex
\nthe moon
\nthe absence
\nor presence
\nof sun
\nor good times.
\na woman must be nursed
\ninto subsistence
\nby love
\nwhere a man can become
\nstronger
\nby being hated.<\/p>\n
I am drinking tonight
\nand I remember the cows
\nI once painted in Art class
\nand they looked good
\nthey looked better than anything
\nin here.<\/p>\n
I am drinking tonight
\nwondering which to love and which
\nto hate,
\nbut the rules are gone:
\nI love and hate only
\nmyself-
\nthey stand outside me
\nlike an orange dropped from the table
\nand rolling away; it’s what I’ve got to
\ndecide:kill myself or
\nlove myself?
\nwhich is the treason?
\nwhere’s the information
\ncoming from?<\/p>\n
books…like broken glass:
\nI wouldn’t wipe my ass with ’em
\nyet, it’s getting
\ndarker, see?
\n(we drink here and speak to
\neach other and
\nseem knowing.)
\nbuy the cow with the biggest
\ntits
\nbuy the cow with the biggest
\nrump.<\/p>\n
present arms.
\nthe bartender slides me a whiskey
\nit runs down the bar
\nlike an Olympic sprinter
\nand the pair of pliers that is my hand
\nstops it, lifts it,
\ngolden piss of dull temptation,
\nI drink and
\nstand there
\nthe weather bad for cows
\nbut my brush is ready
\nto stroke up
\nthe green grass
\nstraw eye<\/p>\n
sadness takes me all over
\nand I drink the beer straight down
\norder another shot
\nfast
\nto give me the guts and the love to
\ngo
\non.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
