For ten thousand years
cows have been grazing
with their four stomachs
and their balls of cud
exceedingly sensitive
All that they eat
And the wild herbage
that helps them compete
with toxins and medicines
spread or’e the field
a balance of nutrients
they tend to build
an expectation
with water which they
so fifty gallons
they need everyday
a foretaste of herbals
they contemplate
when they are under the weather
in an eidetic state
they can supplement
and this they do
foresight and a foreboding
which is seemingly true.
