"Like a bag of kittens thrown by the bride." -Abraham Smith, from Whim Man Mammon

Buffalo

I told you that

I was sorry

I told you that

you were a snake

or at least that

your shadow

was of a snake

you told me that

I was no better

you told me I was

a goat or a goat

shadow

together we make

an elephant sitting

in the shade

and we feel very naked

when our shadows

disappear in the sun
