Rubber Band Horsey 3/9/2008

gewgaw
heehaw

the rubber band horse hung low
reflection warped from tire treads
and obscure sitting lady shape

bounding down the road
in sink with the potholes
and country music

artwork of the rodeo green room
hours waiting for possible death
or paralyzation.

no woman, no home, no worries
the rubber band horse
will protect you
and keep you
from this town
to the next.

gewgaw \G(Y)OO-gaw\, noun:
A showy trifle; a trinket; a bauble.
