a big white horse

you have no horse,
but if you had
a horse, it would
be a large white
horse. you would
say things like
giddy up or whoa.
you'd wave your
hat into the air
and say hi ho.
people would wave
at you. they'd
cheer as you rode
by for no good
reason, they would
like the idea
of someone on a
big white horse
riding heroically
down main street.
sometimes it seems
that it's all
about making a
good impression,
not substance.
it took a few years
to learn this,
but you've got it
down now. now that you
have a horse.
