The Cowboy
A hundred thousand miles
were written on his face
He'd earned near every wrinkle
Did this cowboy known as "Jace"

To the roughest hurricane
He owned...

From stories of knights in days of yore
Born in village La Mancha in Spain

Resting in Benign Pleasure
By Sy Roth 

They watched me, 
Waiting for a segue.
Continuously gazing at me 
A waxen bowl of fruit
Tantalizing, 
Clinging to my every move
Like lichen on the leeward side of an ancient oak,

Where demons of evil

Bursting bubbles
He's in my head
Among the rubbles
Seeing that most things get done
He works at it from moon till sun
He tilts at windmills only he can see

My affliction
or my soul
hearing voices

we come across a windmill
hidden in the trees
reminiscent of Don Quixote
and his misguided beliefs

a star crossed lover was he
Dulcinea was her name
an allusion to illusion
he chased her just the same

I am the knight-errant, he sang in a loud excited way.
riding his horse Rocinante, each and every day.

 to see Leonardo of the Vince,
Went to understand, the blunder,
 tilting of the windmills, maybe pinch,
