Cow Poetry: Watkins Flat


Poetry

by Bill Babers | 1 Comments

Twenty five miles of wash board
dust plume 
gravel road 
from the highway around one last curve 
before old growth pines
give way to 
five square miles of sagebrush
edges blurred by 
undulating heat waves 
that on this sultry 
September afternoon
seems to be 
the bovine version
of Times Square
lowing cattle mimic 
blaring taxi horns
brown and black steers 
like business men in suits
grazing as if finishing lunch
then heading back
to the office.
