more easily the way it wants
than any way I try to force it
just like a lariat
it's so much easier to learn that from a cowboy
that from any boss I knew
maybe because the cowboy shares
and makes one laugh
even at oneself
no boss teaches like that
but some rare bosses drew from me
more than I knew I knew
more than I thought I could do
not everything comes from cowboys
and lariats or computer cables
but so much of the world is like that
work with it your way and it's a fight
that wearies you before you get anything done
work with it how it wants and it lies down
curls up, and soon you have a poem
