POEM - Inherit the Wind: Part Deux


A mule is
a foolish bird
So bullheaded
and stubborn
cousin to a donkey
who the gods named Stella.

It brays vengeance
for a bad rap;
hay and curses
hot on its breath.
The unwilling
monk of nature
left impotent in
forced celibacy.

Mule! O, mule!
Take flight!

Know you not
the noble horse
heir of Pegasus?

Surely you must
remember the wind
in your flowing locks
the swoop and dive
float on peaked backs
of rising cumulonimbus.
