Bull Dust Poem by Douglas Scotney

It's easier to believe
that a cow grows from vegetables,
than that a bull does;
even if he's bullish
to look after the cows.

And that a sow grows from what it eats,
than that a boar does from eating the same.

The extraction
of different qualities in vegetables
must account
for the difference between bulls and cows;

and of different qualities in their dietary variety
for the difference between boars and sows.
