(or) baa, humbug


so long

mile after mile


ready to flow through

all that upright wood


all those steel droppers

- the wire pulse -


then - there it is -

the first lean back


to the middle of the road

sheep’s head-butted


greener pastures so

close for the taking


and for miles after that

the list to the right


almost lying down in places

but still connected


and what was to be kept out

is now kept in
