Rob Schackne #1023 - Taking Stock on Cup Day

Taking Stock on Cup Day

When I was coming up
on the stations
I was taught never go
anywhere empty-handed

someone always
needs something
(anticipate foolery)
be kind to the horses
don't bet on a sure thing
and never stand idle
watching somebody work

the better the day
the better the deed
it isn’t the dollar
(and clean up after)

now when I stumble 
I fall in the direction
of things I cannot see

I still watch the weather
having little reason
to go anywhere

I carry memories
instead of come-alongs
my days aren’t numbered yet

haven't ridden a horse for years
I believe I am well loved
