Wild Horses

The sign It says “Please stay at Home”

Forget your car Forget your bones

In their closets They must stay

All your ambition’s (Fears) —put away

At least for now At least today…

——

This first time directive We can collectively recall To just do nothing To sit in our stalls

But these American Mustangs are getting Restless

We like to roam We like it breathless

We just don’t know just what to do When we’re told to stay home Until this is through
