BALONEY BULL

by Mike McCulley


Sam's old baloney bull
puts its snotty nose in the air
and heads off for the next pasture,
steps into the fence, snaps the posts

off at the ground, stomps wire
into the grass. The neighbors get pissed
and go after the bull with a stick,
trying not to get stomped too.

Sam calls out but the old baloney
is following a fantasy, keeps going east
where there's more trouble to be had.
Sam is thinking how to cure stubborn,

how to stop the old baloney.
