Tao Jones

like most prairie men
is a loner

Tao Jones
measures himself
by the smell of his horse
and his shirt-sweat

Tao Jones
has an understanding
somewhere between
ancient chinese texts
your mental capacity
a wall street executive
and a cat’s compulsion
to relieve itself on
the old lady’s
tattered Indian rug

Tao Jones
is an early morning coffee theorist
boring his friends over a cup of coffee
listening to himself speak
and forgetting his point
and then coming up with a new one

Tao Jones
daily puts himself out of his misery
and yet never manages to do himself in
