I DON’T WANT TO REMINISCE I WANT TO BURN
the road birds shout
away, away! enough.
gosh.
I whisper to myself gosh,
body terrific, stay alive
you luck-stoned
fool.
any way you unwrap it
when I become a better woman

to sing over the fire,
even the horses are on my team
even the horses are on my team
even the horses are on my team.
