i took this picture as i stopped to check out this interesting group

i loved the perspective of my dog, harley
so intrigued by them

such a sweet moment

then i studied it and it dawned on me

the black cows were huddled together and the red one, just off to the side

why?

maybe coincidence
i don’t know

but then my mind went in all crazy directions

were the black ones teenagers
and they didn’t like the red one’s outfit so they were over there talking smack, ostracizing it from the group

or maybe the black ones were competing for the red one’s affections

and the red one was playing hard to get and just staying out of reach
being a flirty, sassy tease

or maybe the red one was from
the zombie apocalypse
and the black ones were all huddled in fear

sensing that at any moment, zombie red cow
was getting ready to do some major
zombie shit on them and then i drove up

and put a wrench in those plans

in any event, i left
and the cows i’m sure
continued to do whatever it is cows do

could be any of those scenarios
but I will never know
and neither will you
