Cows (Twenty Lines)

Thanks to crystal meth and guns, once boring corners of America are now tremendously exciting.  Time, which once moved very slowly, now moves very fast.  The same goes for the people.  This is called progress.  Mobile meth labs, parked in the boonies, produce a jet age merchandise that people simply can't get enough of.  This is called capitalism.  The only things that haven't changed are the cows.  They still mosey along, and haven't succumbed to the latest fad, burglary.  Cows defy progress, they stand in the way of progress, they're not interested in crystal meth or robbing houses to get the money to pay for crystal meth.  Cows are reactionaries.  They stand in the same fields they've always stood in, munching on grass or just looking off into the distance.  The same thing happened in California in the seventies.  Cows weren't interested in cocaine.  They didn't grow pony tails.  Put a cow in a hot tub, and that cow was not happy.  Cows did not sing along with Steely Dan's "Black Cow."  Cows are moveable hamburger.  They deserve an award.  Cows are even better than the Amish at resisting the lures of modernity.  Cows are great.

Cows? Doomsday daoists. Acting without acting, farting & burping this planet to certain doom while they die by their millions. Love them.

And to think people blame SUVs! No wonder I eat them. I'm just trying to save the planet.
