Should they come in the night
Should they rip the young colts from their birthright
Gilded oats, salty wheel
Golden meadows into metal on wheels they ride
To the aqueduct
Human race’s race course
Well supplied with body bags
Brother Bob
King of Keys
Cousin Maggie brought down to her horse knees
Magic Maid
Calashan
Horse-drawn kindercide
Is an ephemeral ride to take
Pills to numb the pain
See the youth in their eyes
Horse and rider worth the prize
