No agenda

Yesterday four dark horses
           grazing in their paddocks
the rich green grass
           under a brilliant blue sky
and all around trees
           in autumn meltdown
but the scene one of peace
           of indifference to the passage
of time and the coming
           and going of seasons
or the coming and going
           of their mounts : horses
living off the fat of the land
           with no agenda
