THE HEIFER TAKES THE LEAD
two cows come down a hill;
they’ve come down before;
and again they shall…
unless Noah finds them
wandering off
takes them under his wing
of two by two;
enjoys the milk of she
& the horny glance of he
& the frightened glimpse of she
when she sees the fattening of the bull.
the heifer decides on further examination
not to take the hill
like Jack & Jill
because
on their last encounter
a stick figure was seen on the horizon;
could be he
and she knows where that leads.
