The Herd Changing

A strayed lamb

found by Good Lord

returns it to

its herd.

Which herd?

Or just one big herd?

It is taken back by the herd.

They yell at it,

mad at it for straying.

The herd quiets down.

It studies the lamb’s new ideas,

different from from the herd’s,

and fits them into their mesh slowly.

The direction of the herd changes with time.
