The horse gets it —
that is, he gets those few
human idioms and terms
in his ears ever recurrent —
not unlike the generations
in this day and age
when most of what you hear
has been simplified and scripted
so that thinking anywhere yonder
keeps on running out of space or time,
and runaways are really discouraged
in the economy of penny-pinching
harnesses and straps, and I wonder:
will all those many Lenores ever wise?
