COWBOY POETRY
REINCARNATION
BY WALLY MACKAE
What is reincarnation the cowpoke asked his friend? It happens, he replied, when your life has reached its end.
They comb your hair, wash your face, clean your fingernails, and lay you in a padded box, away from life's travails.
The box and you goes in a hole that's been dug in the ground; reincarnation starts once you're planted neath the mound. Clods melt down, just like your box and you who are inside, and then your just beginning on your transformation ride.
In a while some grass will grow upon your rendered mound, till one day upon your lonely grave a single flower is found.
Then say a horse should wonder by and graze upon this flower, that once was you and has now become your vegetative bower.
Now this posy that the horse ate up with his other feed makes bone, and fat and muscle essential to the steed. But some is left that he can't use and so it passes thru. And finally lays upon the ground, this thing that once was you.
Then say by chance I wonders by and sees this object on the ground, and I ponders and I wonders at this thing that I have found. I thinks of reincarnation, of life, and death, & such come away concluding Boss, you ain't changed all that much
