Always An Indian Never A Cowboy Poem by Terence George Craddock
Always An Indian Never A Cowboy
I was in play always an Indian never a Cowboy
I would each time be pounded buried beaten down
I would be buried in a pile of heaving Cowboy bodies
I would be entangled in a mass of interlocked arms legs
I would be weight pounded trapped to the ground face down
I would be no matter how hard fought be immoveable pinned
choice was to choose one Cowboy to single target fight pin
what meaning if any hides lingers in childhood games?
