A bottle of goat tears
quivers on the counter.
Goats are nervous animals
and even their tears can't sit still.
I have no idea how I got that
goat to cry.
It's not easy hanging
out in a field waiting
for a goat to cry.
They tend to faint.
It’s kind of embarrassing.
Maybe goats will cry profusely
in the future and
this vial of goat tears
won't be so valuable then.
But's a between time.
It was cold day and
the aspen were doing
that crying leaves routine.
I wish I could cry that slow.
I think the goat
had paused to watch the falling colors.
This might be my chance.
I readied my clear little bottle,
I inched toward the goat.
It was the moment
right between fall
and winter, when the warmth
falls out of the crisp ring
of your breath
and that last flat football
in an Ohio backyard
frosts over for good.
I don't know about the goat,
but I cried several times,
right there in the wheat,
like Van Gogh,
but with my right ear intact
and without black crows.
Guiltily, I must admit
that I thought
I'd just put some of my own
tears in the bottle.
Nobody would know the difference.
I held the bottle
Against my right eye like a gun.
I thought how about my
doctor told me I
was between Obese
and Morbidly Obese.
Great, what’s next,
What’s between Morbidly Obese
and, and … what’s after Morbidly Obese?
Grimace? Super Zepplin?
I was ready to capture my tears.
They were coming.
Nobody would stop me.
I didn’t know what to do.
Don't you love these between times?
I still have no idea
how I got that damn goat to cry.
