What U want, Bramsby?
I sat inside a horse.
The horse stood up.
My God sat in front of me.
The horse kicked out its front legs.
God thought: What do you want?
The horse excreted.
I asked God: What do you want?
The horse urinated.
After some silence, God talked stars into existence.
The horse neighed.
I thought of violence.
The horse cantered.
God taught me forgiveness.
The horse jumped and kicked out both sets of legs.
I left the horse.
The horse drank water.
God left the horse.
The horse ate hay.
I said goodbye
God said see you on the moon.
I looked away
God did not stay.
