Civilizations Trolla-lolla-la

A cow's breath:
burst of steam in the air
a slave to farmer Joe
And his cool cruel suction machines

Meanwhile back at the ranch:
you laugh
not hysterical
a chuckle - robotic
bathed in blue light

(W)holstein, deprived of pasture
Hotwired
Reprogrammed
Cow: "QUACKquackQUACK"
Dead and dying
inside fat-pot-bellies
Fasting unheard of
Shuffling in stalls where
you grasp something

O weary beasts of old:
leather
milk
beef
glue stick
downtrodden
down and down

O lo how this has happened you shall never know
But now you must escape
When pigs fly
Or bulls take to the streets
Escaparon
Desaparecieron

Something tangibly hot:
kings
gods
milk in dead jugs
Xargniflox and Chuck
the mighty ones
and all the others
Suckle at your teats
like helpless pink babies
