Cowboy Boots in Californian - circa 1991
by Ngak'chang Rinpoche, 7 April 1991.
Glorious to be a seagull piercing sky like an iron spike encrusted with saline crystals,
Sharpened by grape moistening fog, happy calamity jags the clouds like a rip-saw hammer
Duvet bent double in the wind - frozen Calistoga mineral water exploded into art in the freezer.
Sun bleached paintwork of '59 Barracuda heading North on the 101 heedless of heliotrope headlights
Glorious spectator sport brassiere display mesmerised by hummingbird pomegranate tear duct.
Ladies with soft tummies at the swimming pool, worried about the nature of the water element
Make internal / external tiptoed swaying complaint about costumes that have gotten too small.
Glorious to have a belly - glorious to have a good round stomach and portentous thighs.
Glorious to plunge into sleek cold water and explode the surface with an amazed shriek.
Glorious to savour mid-life crisis in cowboy boots flag-stitched from heel to knee in Lone Star State.
