Tina Will Choose You a Horse 
 

Because she knows how to choose a horse 
Tina will choose a horse for you. 
Regarding a hypothetical horse 
 

Tina might say, this horse is a crib-biter
and a box-walker. This is not your horse.
When Tina says this is not your horse
 

you must trust her. When Tina walks away
from a horse you must walk away too. 
You know nothing about horses. 
 

When Tina says this horse is a Virgo 
with a Taurus moon and mercury retrograde, 
this is not your horse, look away
 

from its long eyelashes, jaunty ears 
and the way sunlight polishes its bottom. 
Channel Tina saying this is not your horse.
 

You must allow Tina to find you 
something more scopey, a scopey horse,
an easy keeper, a horse more rideable
 

for the rider. When Tina says
this horse is an unhappy hacker, a weaver,
a tied up maintenance horse with windgall, 
 

you must listen. Tina sees your loneliness. 
Trot along behind her. Tina will choose you 
a horse whether you want a horse or not.
