a high horse grows in girth as you age into this ride
to throw one’s leg over has become impossible
improbable
improvable
none
take today for instance
a new president there
big hopes here
neither connected in fact quite distinctively separate
so tremendously apart as to be not in the same country
oh that that were something
yet no
here I am
here he is
here we are
he in need of a knock
me not climbing atop but rather patting its side
bowing my head in thanks
a simple incongruence
completely congruent
just here
