we left Britain yesterday

there doesn’t seem to be much
difference
in the landscapes; all farms
are equally as beautiful. but
the cows are a bit
thinner
past the French border.

don’t they eat?
[them?]
[cows?]

it seems
there is just as much grass,
corn and
surely more charm—
even if they do like
black pudding.

maybe they’re all just mad—yes.
that answer is good enough
for a foreigner
like me.
