You don't forget these

Posted on Thu, 20 Feb 2025

You don't forget these sadistic nutcases who take up teaching do you? I wonder if it's their personalities which dictate their career choice or their career choice which causes their characters to descend into bullying roles. Probably a bit of...

This is a very unique poem, as are cows, tampered with by us and their extraordinary lives, calfs torn away and the endless milking. I love the contrast between the wild creatures and pastoral scenes.
