Branding, Ouch
So I’ve heard that some kids are bullying each other
Over not having really expensive shoes or clothing cover
Wow.
When did we get so shallow?
If you have to mentally scar someone
Shouldn’t it be over something that actually matters?
Religious and political hate crimes
Seem almost justified
By comparison.

Branding?
Well.
I’m not a cow.
I don’t need any singular mark to own me.
I think I’ve made up at least three
Or more different designs that could be.
Because art is fun.
I support “freeze branding” over burn branding, by the way.
It’s nicer to the bovines.
Buying generic is much smarter and cheaper.
Don’t get burned by brands. Heehee
I can talk about brand names here, like the cow-cruel Burger King,
Precisely because I’m not published in a book.
That would require legal wrangling.
Red tape that ensnares like a cowboy a rodeo calf
This is just my online space to talk.
Like a blog.
But with rhythm.
Now, I do hope to get a book made anyway,
(Know anyone who might be interested?)
(I also want to do some accompanying illustrations.)
But that’ll probably only be the poems that give such specific names no mention.
