What Cowboys Know About Love

Last night on the sports channel

I watched the rodeo.

Those cowboys have it right;

the best and the beauty of it.

You cannot win, so you ride

for as long as you can and enjoy it.

When you dismount,

whether it be on your own or not,

it won’t look pretty. You’ll limp off.

But you’ll feel good; your heart

will be pounding like it never has,

and walking away, one crazy step

after another, your ears will ring

with the loud approval

of those who never felt so good.
