The Horse Race

There they are
lined up in on the shelf like orange traffic cones
as many as my grandmother had before she died

If there were natural remedies
or holistic healings
or medical fastings
or christian baptisms in sacred waters
that I trusted as much as these ponies
at this track

I believe that all good things bring the mind body and soul to perfect stasis
but right now, this is a Saratoga horse race in August heat

If I had to bet,
my life savings on this race
it would be Reiki Master to show
and Alternative Therapy to place
and Western Meds to Win.

at least for this leg of the triple crown
