Galloping Gavotte

Horse gallops

and gavottes,

running and dancing,

finding his feet,

feeling his hooves,

touching down,

rising up,
snorting rainbows,

presenting himself

to the full range

of the empty

expansive

lot

for

parking.

The Horse's Mouth

This isn't a "gift horse"

and when I looked into its mouth

I couldn't see any teeth.

(when you buy a horse you look at its teeth to make sure you are getting a healthy animal,

but when someone GIVES you a horse, it is rude to "look it in the mouth"

hence - "don't look a gift horse in the mouth")

From this angle and proximity

this horse looks cartoonish and goofy!

Here're a couple of more stately shots

to redeem the poor guy's reputation.
