Drifting Low

I am the Lonesome Cowboy, walking alone, talking to the wind.

I am the Lonesome Cowboy, watching the sky for signs of life, seeing only clouds, feeling gray.

I am the Lonesome Cowboy, alone on a vast, empty plain, where only the wind talks, whispering with dusty breath.

I am the Lonesome Cowboy, walking without a care in the world, or a friend. In my pocket is a receipt for nothing.

I am the Lonesome Cowboy. Today is my birthday. So I am told by no one.

I am the Lonesome Cowboy, awake, alert, making notes on bits of paper, which the wind tears from my hand and claims as its own.

If I was a chicken I probably wouldn't be writing this without a contract.
