Crazy Horse


They said I was a dog in a manger

stealing what was meant for others

more needy than I was.


I never understood.


Firstly,

I always thought I was a horse.


Secondly,

I was surviving by eating

whenever I could.

Surely that was right,

what was expected

in this world

of dog eat dog

and winner takes all.


No,

they said

I was mad,

off my head

I should know my place

which was at the end of the line,

should wait my turn,

and be grateful for any crumbs

left in the manger.


That was when I lost it,

really lost my head.
