The Herd moves fast because the weather demands it, He knows that.
A crowd can't wait for an untied shoelace.
Time can't wait for you to leave your bed.
The Herd can't wait, in fear of collisions.
But what about Little Roebuck, left
Behind in the wire that cuts and stings and slices and stabs
Dragging Little Roebuck down.
Left behind by The Herd it is a part of.
The Roebuck is left behind so The Herd can survive, He knows that.
The Herd is running towards salvation, not away from Little Roebuck's own.
He knows The Herd must love Little Roebuck, and wishes to come back.
Yet Little Roebuck is left in despair alone.
Ultimately, The Herd cannot survive when
Constantly looking backwards.
Little Roebuck's abandonment is inevitable in this constant world.
He knows all of this.
Yet, as He watches the scene of Little Roebuck and The Herd, He can't help but see a likeness to
Orpheus and Eurydice.
Him and his love.
