Late Night Movies

Late Night Movies. I wear denim trousers and matching jacket in winters, this because I always wanted to be a cowboy, the simple life, what can be simpler than herding cows. I can’t afford to buy a horse, but nearly bought a donkey once, I have no stable and couldn’t leave it indoors you can’t toilet train donkeys. Oddly enough, once upon a time my living room was a stable; a pile of manure was the first that greeted me when I bought the dwelling. Time moves on there are no beasts of burden left, only tractors litter the landscape and the good smell of sweat animals has been replaced by diesel fumes .I wouldn’t mind being a monk though especially now that my sexual drive is in a steep decline, but I’m not ascetic or contemplative enough to fit in. So I’ll stick to being a horseless cowboy while trying to walk like john Wayne and watch late night western movies.
