At the Border Company

In the Diary Barn
Everyone is writing
And no one can really

Talk What are you working on
Is the only safe question

I’m working on a book
About a cow who goes
To space And you O great

Count every word
Adding white to white

So where does she go
The cow The Milky Way
Of course and never

She never comes back
