I felt something pure

---

I felt something pure
in the shadows of
a giant cow statue
something innocent
like the labor of mankind
to create, to replicate
what nature first aroused
to catch the drips from the utters
to feed
each other as we build lives
that two syllables
from birth to death
is a soft sustaining moo

as my young daughter scurries
beneath the
cow statue
as the smart data
cellular waves
pass through the
farm animals on the journey to
finger touch
dusk continues to lure
each bird, person, rabbit
mankind continues to create
statues of nature
of derivatives
giant pigs and giant manatees
investing souls
yodeling to each other
calls of a cowherd
daddy take me to the cow
daddy daddy take me to the cow
