Poetry: Even (Space) Cowgirls Get The Blues

Title inspired by Tom Robbins’ novel “Even Cowgirls Get The Blues”

Even space cowgirls get the blues

It’s lonely uniting the cosmos,

Lassoing aliens,

Being wild.

 

 But don’t fall in love with a space cowgirl

She’ll only break your heart

With a tip of her hat

And the twinkle of stars between her teeth

She’s gone.

 

 She’s not made for your life,

Needs space to 

Fling herself off the edge

Of the world and see where

She goes.
