13,176. WHEN THE HEART IS A RAMBLER

WHEN THE HEART IS A RAMBLER
Ah, everything is wrong, you want to say
but shrug and say instead, 'So what and
what's the difference?' Blow it all off to 
calumny and walk straight away. The 
world is a light oneness, and I've still
get a head on my shoulders.
-
Just down the road some, there's a
peacock-oyster-rooster and a guy
with two horses and four dogs. That's
a real crowd to manage, but he does
it well : a few grown kids thrown in
too. Boys, mostly, it seems.
-
I wouldn't know what to say, if asked,
but evidences remain that they're all
pretty wild. Always shooting guns
and cannon, or so it seems to the ears.
Out behind the barn, some sort of a
shooting-range exists.
-
I walk the woods, shaving dreams and
intent to listen; knowing I'm lost in
another world  -  of things I've never
seen at all. What's an oyster-rooster;
and what is the sound of its call?
When 
the heart is a rambler, it little
matters 
at all...
