Today was a big day
momentous in fact
Today we finished the fence
5' tall horse fencing, wooden posts
It looks great
in a country sort of a way
For the finishing touch
a wild-crafted gate of freshly cut salt cedar latillas
Still glistening with chain oil from the saw
as the bailing wire pulled it all together
I love bailing wire
and my fencing pliers
and my gloves
The dogs love it
walked the perimeter and pissed on every post to stake their claims
It was a beautiful thing to see
When it was all done,
I sat down on my porch
with my rolled cigarette
and felt like a very small and happy king
