Hey hi howdy, in case you missed it, I had a new poem out a couple weeks ago. It has cows and Kool Moe Dee, as all good things do.
"I make up lyrics and rap to an audience of cows. Hundreds of cows." Now Playing: "I Go To Work" • Kool Moe Dee (@mitchnobis.bsky.social) www.major7mag.com/post/i-go-to...
"The barns groan, hundreds of cows chewing and shitting and sleeping and bellowing and humping. Not a lot of people know the cows hump."
One of my favourite 90's bands was Buffalo Tom, because their lyrics made me feel and wonder about things so many different ways. As a writer, I wanted to explore the possibility of re-experiencing those old feels for the first time. Thanks, @major7mag.bsky.socialwww.major7mag.com/post/sunday-...
