Cowboys

There are cowboys in my tv!
If I turn it off at 2am,
they wont go away
hooting up the baddies,
in my own bedroom!
In the dark, I allow the weight of my marriage
to settle uncomfortably on my shoulders,
and I dream about the things that are,
and that might be.

The cowboys shoot more baddies. Woop! Woop!
Even the horses look scared.
My cat settles me, nudges my face to tell me
He loves me.

There are still cowboys in my tv!
