Horseflesh and humanflesh, / What’s the grand design? / Why does one pull the plough / And another one pull the lines? / What makes a man a man? / Why is a horse a horse?

Picture yourself betting on a racehorse, seeing the animal take the lead, and then watching the horse suddenly stop because it pulled a muscle not properly warmed up by its trainers.

Surely my markings are by this time as unmistakable to an observer of humanflesh as are horses’ shades of color, whorls of hair, configurations of bone, and daubs of white to experts in horseflesh. Who else has life imprinted precisely as it has me – left shin neatly scarred by ski-accident, […]

At that age, I would have been reluctant to see myself as the urgent stallion and Veronica as the skittish mare. Later, I would realize that horseflesh and humanflesh dance to the same ardent music, even though our human dance is constrained by rules that horses never know.

They just ran their separate ways, and so it wasn’t long before Longarm was splashing across Sappa Creek on the paint, alone in the renewed moonlight—and what in blue blazes was the matter with this fool pony?
