[cassidysue]

there is a horse in the center of the city
it eats and eats
until there is no grass, and yet
it starves
its pale skeleton body creaks
from one end of its home to the other
casually watching the busy streets around it
wishing with all the wisdom of the world
for a wandering car to jump the fence
and put it out of its misery
