A Cow in a Space Shuttle. Or, To an Udder World.


November. 

Cloudless and windless.
The quickest stars to shine,
The most enthused,
Appear above the mountains.

A lonely cow.

Takes the seat of opportunity,
Clasp the joystick of redemption, 
Flicks bitter buttons of bad times.
Seizing the bull by the horns,
As they say. 

Gas - check, 
Oxygen - check, 
Navigation - check, 
Gravity - check, 
Water - check, 
Pressure - check, 
Altimeter - check, 
Radar - check,
Comms - check, 
Grass - check, 

A thumb. A wink. 
'So long, world. 
I'm mooooving away.'
