Empty plate
It's not going
To play
This way
See
Take off
Your blinkers
These horses
They're good for
Running
Riding
Working
But they aren't
The people
On this funny farm
And the cattle
They have
Their eyes
Wide
And they look
Forwards
Because only owls
Can look behind them
And I guess
There's a reason
For that
Forget about
The whispers
And the ticks
And the barflies
And the blow outs
Focus on
The tables
In the rain
And if you have to
The dancing bears
The moon will come
Soon enough
And once all the
Howling is done
What's left
Is the plate
On your table
And you can eat
Or go hungry
Or be glad
That there
Was ever
A plate
Or when
It comes down
To it
A table
At all
