SUNNY
It’s a pretty good cowboy poem you wrote to me.
But it’s really dark.
So I’m glad it’s sunny today
And the grass is green
And the flowers are thinking of blooming.
And I at least have that.
If I can’t have you here
To smell the Spring
And feel the Sun
And hear the squirrels talking
And see a whole flock of bad ass blue jays flapping
Like cowboys on a bender after branding.
Yeh, I’m glad it’s sunny,
But sunny can’t lighten lonely.
But it will just have to do.
The Tao of Cow – Cows Don’t Mope
Some have called the Covid-19 virus “The Honey Badger Virus” cuz Honey Badger Don’t Care. But I wont give it that title or that power. How about we call our fearless first responders, docs, nurses, truckers, and custodians in NYC and other hot spots, the “Honey Badgers of this Crisis” title instead and not give the title to this g.d. virus. And some more advice from the Tao of Cow; don’t be a mopey dopey cuz Cows Don’t Mope. So eat some grass (grassfed burger or a salad, if you are a human); drink some water (or a good Bordeaux or even some cheap shit, if you are a human.). And just get on with it and keep moo-ving forward.
Note: Evie Taloney has some advice too. You know who else don’t mope? The beekeeper in the great documentary “Honeyland”. Highly recommended for quarantine watching. I won’t give it away, but try to guess what she buys when she goes to the city to sell her honey. It’s something I’m thinking about a lot.
