• The beasts are very wise,
  Their mouths are clean of lies,
  They talk one to the other,
  Bullock to bullock brothers
  Resting after their labors,
  Each in stall with his neighbors,
  But man with goad and whip,
  Breaks up their fellowship,
  Shouts in their silky ears
  Filling their soul with fears.
  When he has plowed the land,
  He says: "they understand."
  But the beasts in stall together,
  Freed from the yoke and tether,
  Say as the torn flank smoke:
  "Nay, 'twas the whip that spoke."

• A carnival in daylight is an unfinished beast, anyway. Rain makes it a ghost. The wheezing music from the empty, motionless rides in a soggy, rained-out afternoon midway always hit my chest with a sweet ache. The colored dance of lights in the seeping air flashed the puddles in the sawdust with an oily glamour.
