    skinned colts in a heap at the dump
    flies affixed to the glistening coating
    red and shiny congealed in the midday sun
    these colts don't run anymore

    the old man invites his grandkids
    to the farm that same afternoon
    the pet their favorite goat
    then he kills it with his car

    a butterfly landed on my tongue
    while I drifted in twilight
    unaware of life in the balance
    and I munched that little mo-fo

    so the question is which is the big tragedy
    dead colts/goat/butterfly?
    I'm not sure but if you asked the butterfly
    it would say that I'm a dick
