"Second
Race, Scratch #9, #9..."
by Stephen Paul
by Stephen Paul
To know instantly,
Then suddenly not.
As Nescience (zero for thirty-nine)
Ascends astride this addled steed...
"Tonight in ninth position,
Confoundedone attempts
To break his maiden
in his first appearance
here at Spellbound Park."
...Who striving to recall
Just a few of the myriad
Tournaments once jumbled
In his tiny equine mind that
Now, in reruns, replicate
Like some surreal DVD,
Complete with scene selection.
