inflatable moose-head

there is an inflatable moose-head
on my brown wooden wall.
just couldn't afford a real one.
i picture a plastic moose
going about it's business,
probably somewhere in Alaska.
then the hunter comes along
with his plastic bow and arrow,
like the ones you used as a kid
playing cowboy and indian.
he takes his aim, then shoots,
and with the suction cup stuck to it's forehead,
the moose buckles to it's knees.
we don't call them indians
anymore,
but a cowboy is still a cowboy.
i was always a native american
when we played those games.
but i'm drifting away here...
