every mind is a traveling salesman
the body a horse pulling the carriage
the mouth pitchman for a variety
of goods and services
after sundown as dinner is cooked
and served to the wagon hauler
the ego lounges in its favorite chair
full from eating all day
and the heart the little puppy
on stage by day to attract and entertain
sits for the master ribs showing
performs a trick for a scrap
stumbles
