This is "The
Appaloosa of Alamosa."

00:00:04.290 --> 00:00:06.690 align:middle line:84%
"When that Appaloosa
mare went out to play,

00:00:06.690 --> 00:00:09.690 align:middle line:84%
freckles on her saucy
rump, sun on her mane,

00:00:09.690 --> 00:00:11.820 align:middle line:84%
no one knew Snippy
was fated to see

00:00:11.820 --> 00:00:13.830 align:middle line:84%
plain little green
men descending

00:00:13.830 --> 00:00:16.110 align:middle line:90%
from the sky on silver saucers.

00:00:16.110 --> 00:00:18.630 align:middle line:84%
What happened to the horse
is an unkempt question

00:00:18.630 --> 00:00:20.350 align:middle line:90%
in the universe.

00:00:20.350 --> 00:00:22.320 align:middle line:84%
I've known ladies with
cantilevered tongues

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:25.560 align:middle line:84%
to swear that they were set
upon by hordes of sky men

00:00:25.560 --> 00:00:28.050 align:middle line:84%
who spoke syllabic
words like Eskimo.

00:00:28.050 --> 00:00:30.690 align:middle line:84%
And stethoscope the songs
of the silly goose girl

00:00:30.690 --> 00:00:32.940 align:middle line:84%
beating of their hearts
that came and went

00:00:32.940 --> 00:00:35.370 align:middle line:90%
in flirting fits and starts.

00:00:35.370 --> 00:00:38.100 align:middle line:84%
But the Appaloosa lost
her head and eyes.

00:00:38.100 --> 00:00:42.510 align:middle line:84%
Her bones changed color,
white to red to blue.

00:00:42.510 --> 00:00:45.060 align:middle line:84%
The maggots would not
touch her, that horse who

00:00:45.060 --> 00:00:47.310 align:middle line:84%
a stopwatch clocking
her to paradise

00:00:47.310 --> 00:00:51.090 align:middle line:84%
was lured by summer men
from a silver cigar.

00:00:51.090 --> 00:00:54.958 align:middle line:84%
The story is incomplete
and stops in air."
