The dog
Saw
The horse
And in doglike
Fashion
All muscles
In exquisite
Differentiation
Showed his
Aggression
That giving
Of growling
That giving
Of teeth
And pissing
Along the walls
Afterwards
The hoodlum too
Found his vital
When he cracked
Open
His opponents
Skull
And he too
Shook His cock
With admiration
The Scholar
Locked
In his library
Reads
To research
What small movements
Could be found
To set matter
Into different motion
Only the mystic
Felt the salt
In his mouth
Imaging
Its cosmic meaning.
