Hats off to the man who stares at goats! This is a finely wrought piece of poetry.

Excellent american sonnet. Love the way the surreal is felt and then the volta to the speaker and the play with scapegoat and then the lovely 'plain' language: 'but only have the time that is not mine' And then the haunting couplet to end. You guys are really good at finding gems :)
